Preethi Thunga successfully defended her PhD dissertation, entitled 'Using zebrafish behavior to study gene-environment interactions after chemical exposures".
Following a joint scientific retreat with Robyn Tanguay's group at Oregon State University (Including a beautiful waterfall hike!), they generously hosted Preethi Thunga at SARL so that she could gain better understanding of data generation for her dissertation work.
Environmental chemical exposure has been linked to increases in cancer incidence, birth and developmental defects, impaired cognitive development, and neurodegenerative disease. However, even as the number of manufactured chemicals in the environment grows into the hundreds-of-thousands, comprehensi…
