RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Zacharewski works in the area of receptor mediated toxicology. In his laboratory, the primary focus is on mechanistic toxicology that involves elucidating how a chemical elicits its adverse effects. More specifically, he is interested in exploring how chemicals cause changes in gene expression that result in hormone-dependent cancers and compromised reproductive fitness. Research efforts are currently divided into the following two areas: endocrine disruption, to examine receptor-mediated endocrine disrupting activities of chemicals and natural products in humans and wildlife; and toxicogenomics, to assess the effects of developmental exposure to endocrine disruptors on fertility and reproductive tissue gene expression profiles using gene expression array technology developed as a result of the Human Genome Project.EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
