Jeffrey Cullen

Jeffrey Cullen is a Ph.D. candidate at the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia. He is a member of the Vacuolar Myelinopathy (VM) Research group led by Dr. Susan Wilde, focusing on Ecotoxicology, Fisheries management, and Aquaculture.

• Bachelor's in Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Cruz
• Master's at University of Georgia on intraspecies interactions in drift-feeding Dolly Varden fish (Salvelinus malma)

His current research investigates the trohic distribution of aetokthonotoxin in freshwater reservoirs, developing standardized extraction and quantification methods in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency and UGA's Stable Isotope Ecology Lab. This work intersects with environmental health, toxicology, and freshwater ecosystem monitoring.

Google Scholar publications highlight his contributions to toxin detection, fish behavior, and ecosystem management. Research collaborations reflect interdisciplinary approaches between forestry, environmental toxicology, and fisheries biology.
