Research Area

Our research focuses on 1) Reproductive, developmental and neural toxic effect of organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, polychlorinated biphenyls, organotins on animals (fish and mammal) and its mechanism, 2) Correlative biomarkers to monitor the pollutions and to assess the risks, 3)relation between environmental pollutants and human important disease.
