We are a dynamic group of scientists that have active, diverse but
related interests in the toxins, bacteria, viruses and chemicals
that play a role in terrorist threats and in toxic agents in our
workplaces, homes, and the environment. Wright State University
is well equipped for this research by having BSL3 containment, and
chemical agent facilities. We are funded to explore hazards and
mechanisms of action for this diverse range of toxic threats. Our
research techniques include state-of-the-art genomics, proteomics,
and NMR-based metabolomics, as well as sensitive analytical methods.
Students trained in this area will be exceptionally well-prepared
for a scientific career in biodefense, chemdefense or toxicology.
