My research focuses on the use of bioanalytical methods as a tool to monitor drinking water safety and to better understand the toxicological profile of drinking water at the molecular level. Specifically, I use in vitro effect-based assays to study the presence of bioactive chemicals in drinking water and evaluate modern treatment techniques designed to remove chemical hazards from the water.
