Timothy W. Collette
My research has been directed primarily at developing and applying spectroscopic tools for solving difficult environmental problems. Since 2005, my work has focused on the use of metabolomics to inform chemical exposure assessments. We develop metabolomic techniques and apply them to discover exposure biomarkers, characterize the important temporal aspects of these exposures, and define characteristics of exposures to which organisms can compensate. An important element of this research is discovering how key initiating exposure events are linked to whole-organism adverse outcomes and then assessing the extent to which these linkages are conserved across species.
