Ecosystems Research
Satori A. Marchitti
My research interests involve the characterization and prediction of exposure pathways from environmental contaminants in humans and ecologically important species, including the generation of ADME data and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for the prioritization of chemicals of concern and risk evaluation.
