Sam Caito is an Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the School of Pharmacy, Husson University. He holds a PhD in Toxicology from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (2010) and completed postdoctoral training at Vanderbilt University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine. His research focuses on metabolic effects of methylmercury, including its impact on nutrient storage, mitochondrial function, and neurobehavioral outcomes using Caenorhabditis elegans models. Dr. Caito has authored over 45 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Toxicological Sciences and FASEB Journal. He teaches biochemistry, toxicology, and research design, and mentors students in his laboratory.
Key research interests include environmental neurotoxicants, heavy metal exposure effects, and metabolic syndrome linkages. His work bridges cellular mechanisms and public health implications of environmental contaminants. Grants and collaborations support investigations into methylmercury metabolism and biomarker development. Dr. Caito’s lab actively employs multi-disciplinary approaches to address global health challenges posed by pollutants.
