First Nations Food, Nutrition and Environment Study (FNFNES) Assessment of Contaminant and Dietary Interactions in Inuit Health Survey Canada Research Chair. Toxicology and Environmental Health NSERC. Discovery Grant. Hg and nutrient interactions

My research interests focus on toxicology, environmental health, nutrition and the environment of indigenous peoples; chemical, biological and biochemical processes involved in the metabolism and toxicity of environmental and nutritional contaminants; effects of trace element deficiency; effects of contaminants in the ecosystem; and risk assessment.
