With each fall, we welcome new undergraduates that are completing their senior thesis. This year, we are welcoming four students – Clarice, Ally, Lucas, and Madison.

Clarice and Ally are working with zebrafish, using some new CYP knockout lines to assess the role of the enzyme in contaminant metabolism and toxicity.

Lucas is working with our polychaete, Capitella teleta, and will be determining pharmaceutical toxicity in this species.

Madison will be working with the rainbow trout cell line, RTgill-W1, to develop new reference toxicants for future effluent testing.
