Earth, Space, and Environmental Chemistry
Big-data revolutions in analytical chemistry and molecular biology are coinciding. The convergence allows us unprecedented potential to connect environmental chemical exposure to toxicological endpoints.
Join us with three leaders in this field for the Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) Global Webinar Bridging the Gap: Linking Analytical Chemistry to Biological Effects.” Guests will include Rebecca Klaper (University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee), Michael Plewa (University of Illinois), and Tom Young (University of California—Davis). Each will present a research synopsis and join a moderated panel discussion.
Hosted by ES&T Associate Editor, Susan Richardson (University of South Carolina) and ES&T Early Career Board Member, Greg LeFevre (University of Iowa).
Rebecca Klaper
University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee
Rebecca D. Klaper is a Professor and the Director of the Great Lakes Genomics Center at the School of Freshwater Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Professor Klaper studies the potential impact of emerging contaminants, such as nanoparticles and pharmaceuticals on aquatic life and how we may design these chemicals to have the least environmental impact.
Michael Plewa
University of Illinois
Michael J. Plewa is Emeritus Professor of Genetics and University Scholar in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He was a member of the NSF Center grant and is with the Safe Global Water Institute in the College of Engineering. He developed a robust quantitative database on the toxicity of DBPs and currently is focused on identifying DBP forcing agents of toxicity in disinfected waters.
Tom Young
University of California—Davis
Dr. Young is a Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Davis, who specializes in measuring and modeling the fate and transport of contaminants and in assessing their environmental impacts. His recent research focuses on applications of high resolution mass spectrometry in environmental monitoring and remediation to identify unknown contaminants of potential health concern. He has applied these tools to assess the quality and safety of drinking water, wastewater, ambient surface water, sewage sludge, and biomethane and how these can be improved (e.g., by treatment or source control) or degraded (e.g., by wildfires).
