I'm a fourth-year PhD candidate at NC State University, where I study how environmental chemicals, such as PFASs, impact the innate immune system using larval zebrafish and human cell lines. Ultimately, I want this research to inform the public about the harmful effects of PFASs, while also informing the hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk management processes for these ubiquitous, persistent, and bioaccumulative environmental contaminants.
