Research as of Spring 2008
I am studying the effects of trichloroethylene on heart development. Trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination has been associated with increased incidences of congenital heart defects in children born in areas with elevated levels of TCE drinking water. I am using a chicken embryo model to look into how TCE causes developmental heart defects by assessing how gene expression is changed in the developing heart exposed to TCE. In addition, the morphological changes in the developing heart induced by TCE exposure are being evaluated. Current projects include a microarray to determine alterations in gene expression in the developing chick heart and the use of histological methods to assess morphological changes in the embryonic chick heart due to TCE exposure.
