Atmospheric pollution

My name is Zhongwen Cao and I come from Dalian, China. 
I majored in Applied Chemistry at college.
I like listening to music. If you want to recommend me some wonderful music, I will feel very happy.
 

.

My current research focuses on investigating the protein interactomes of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-Linked Mutants of SOD1 and UBQLN2. 

.

Sasha is from Chicago, Illinois and graduated Pomona College with a B.A. in Molecular Biology and a minor in Russian and Eastern European Studies. Her current research focus is studying microplastics in terrestrial ecosystems.

.

My current research focuses on determining the mechanisms that mediate stress-dependent mistargeting of secreted proteins.

My current research focus is the effect of nanoplastics exposure on atherosclerosis and metabolic disorders

Ben's research focuses on assessing the fate, transport, and mechanistic controls driving inadvertent geogenic metals (arsenic, manganese, iron, etc.) solubilization during managed aquifer recharge and  understanding how these processes impact groundwater quality, and are affected by alternating oxic-anoxic (dry-wet) cycling during infiltration and carbon availability.

My research currently explores RNA codes and neural-specific alternative splicing in neurological diseases like Alzheimer's.

 

Ali is part of Dr. Gan research group and will be focusing on the accumulation, availability, fate, transportation, and toxicity of pesticide residues in the various aspects of the environment.

.

The effects of anthropogenic contaminants on ecosystems.

Research Focus

Applications for Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Agricultural Systems to Limit Heavy Metal Uptake in Food Crops

Current research: characterizing organofluorine products, mechanism, and efficiency of the thermal decomposition of PFAS from different environmental matrices

William's research evaluates the fundamental biomolecular recognition of small molecules with proteins of interest using computational tools and theory to discern and quantify conformational changes and interactions that dictate binding affinity.

.

.

My research background is Fibroblasts.

.

My research interests are in the fate, transport, accumulation, and mitigation of emerging contaminants in agroecosystems from the recycling of biosolids and wastewater.
