Integrated Studies of Nutraceuticals, Food Safety and Environmental Management

We hypothesize that integration of laboratory research and extension activities will facilitate research progress and increase accomplishments. Scientific questions learned through extension activities will be addressed through laboratory research.To identify and characterize pesticide-protein adducts for exposure diagnostics;To elucidate the mechanism of action of GSK3β substrate inhibitors;To study novel peroxidases and other enzymes;To study biotransformation of pesticides by microorganisms.
