معرفی
Michael Carvan is the Shaw Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Freshwater Sciences. His research focuses on toxicology, toxigenomics, epigenetics, and behavioral toxicology, particularly studying the effects of environmental chemicals on aquatic organisms like zebrafish and yellow perch. He holds a PhD in Veterinary Anatomy and Public Health from Texas A&M University, an MS in Biological Oceanography from the University of Miami, and a BS in Marine Biology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
His work explores transgenerational epigenetic changes caused by methylmercury exposure, the mitigation of toxic effects through organic matter, and the neurobehavioral impacts of environmental contaminants. He collaborates on projects addressing ecological risk assessment, aquatic pollution monitoring, and educational initiatives using zebrafish models in secondary schools.
Carvan leads research at the Great Lakes Research Facility, investigating gene-environment interactions and developing adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) for contaminant risk assessment. His contributions include genomic resources for yellow perch and studies on nanoparticle endocrine disruption. Though no formal student list is provided, his publications reflect extensive collaborative research with postdoctoral associates and graduate students.
