معرفی
Raymond W M Kwong is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Environmental Toxicology at York University's Department of Biology, Faculty of Science. His research focuses on understanding the molecular and neurophysiological effects of environmental stressors on aquatic animals, particularly zebrafish.
- Affiliation: York University (2012–present), University of Ottawa (2012–present)
- Research Areas: Environmental Toxicology, Aquatic Physiology, Trace Metal Regulation, Neuroendocrine Control, Pollution Impacts
His work integrates molecular physiology with functional genetics to investigate environment-gene-phenotype relationships, aiming to develop predictive tools for aquatic ecosystem health. Key projects include studying endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and metal homeostasis in fish.
Recent publications highlight trends in metal toxicity (iron, cadmium, zinc), microplastic impacts, and neurodevelopmental effects of pollutants. His lab's work contributes to water quality regulation and biodiversity protection strategies.
- Scientific Awards: Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Environmental Toxicology
- Current Lab Members: Mohammad Naderi (Postdoctoral Fellow), Theanuga Chandrapalan (PhD), Maryam Zarean Adarmanabadi (PhD), Sejal Dave (MSc), Nhi Nguyen (MSc), Mahtab Zonouzi-Marand (PhD)
