Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress and toxigenomics  
   
Animals face high levels of oxidative stress due to anthropomorphic increased in pollutants in their environment. We are using zebrafish, lamprey, killifish, mussels, and crabs as a model species to extend the Biotic Ligand Model to chronic metal exposures (Cu) and to biochemical & genomic endpoints.
