Elisabeth Seetharaman

Elisabeth Seetharaman is an Associate Lecturer and PhD student at Anglia Ruskin University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, specializing in anatomy and physiology with research focus on endocrine disruptors and bone toxicology.

Education:

• BSc Hons Biological Sciences (Environmental Toxicology & Biomedical Science), Anglia Ruskin University, 1996
• PGCE & Fellowship of Higher Education Academy, Anglia Ruskin University, 1998
• MPhil (intended), Medical Research Council and Anglia Ruskin University, 2007
• Doctoral studies in Plastic and Pharmaceutical Derived EDC Toxicology, Current

Her research centers on endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and plastic nanoparticle internalization, investigating impacts on calcified tissues and bone cells. With 20+ years of pedagogical innovation, she integrates fundamental physiology with environmental toxicology to address contemporary health challenges from pollutants. Her work bridges laboratory toxicology and clinical physiology, emphasizing cellular mechanisms of EDC exposure.

Current publications reveal evolving expertise from early bone density studies in diabetic populations toward modern nanoplastic toxicology, demonstrating methodological progression from clinical observation to cellular mechanistic research while maintaining bone biology as the core investigative thread.

Seetharaman actively contributes to academic communities through memberships in the Royal Society of Biology, British Ecological Society, and Bioscience in Nurse Education development forum, and regularly presents at university research conferences and ecological society meetings.
