Timothy R. Zacharewski

Timothy R. Zacharewski is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Michigan State University (MSU). His research focuses on receptor-mediated toxicology, particularly investigating how chemicals alter gene expression to induce hormone-dependent cancers and reproductive toxicity. He is affiliated with MSU's research initiatives in endocrine disruption and toxicogenomics.

• Educational Background:
  • B.S. in Chemistry with Microbiology Emphasis from the University of Guelph (1986)
  • Ph.D. in Toxicology from Texas A&M University (1990)

Research interests span endocrine disruption and toxicogenomics, utilizing gene expression arrays to study developmental exposure to endocrine disruptors. His work integrates molecular biology with environmental health, emphasizing mechanisms of chemical-induced carcinogenesis and fertility compromise.

Recent publications highlight toxicogenomic approaches to dioxin and statin effects, circadian rhythm disruption, and fibrin's role in fibrosis. While no scientific awards are listed, his lab's contributions to mechanistic toxicology are foundational.
