Experience with Wildlife Toxicology Studies:
- Conducted acute and chronic toxicity studies on various wildlife species, including birds, mammals, fish, and amphibians, to assess the effects of pesticides, industrial chemicals, and environmental pollutants.
- Utilized a range of exposure routes (oral, dermal, inhalation) and analytical techniques (biochemical, histopathological, behavioral) to determine toxicity endpoints and dose-response relationships.
- Collaborated with field biologists and environmental scientists to design and implement studies that met regulatory requirements and provided scientifically sound data for risk assessment and conservation efforts.
-
Experience with Endangered Species Toxicology:
- Participated in a multi-year research project to assess the impact of an emerging contaminant on an endangered bird species.
- Developed non-invasive sampling methods to collect biological samples from wild populations witho… Read full answer
