Robin's research examines the influence of heavy metal exposure on aquatic predator/prey interactions. Her work utilizing transgenic fish has shown that short-term exposure to cadmium results in olfactory cell death and a corresponding reduction in the responses of the fish to chemical alarm cues. Moreover, she has shown that exposure of fishes to cadmium results in immunosuppression. Her work is co-supervised with Dr. Pat Krone (Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology). |
