Elizabeth HillEmeritus Professor (Ecology and Evolution)
Research
My research is focussed on the identification of biologically active chemicals which include chemical contaminants which impact animal health or chemical signals which alter animal behaviour.
Current projects include:
- Identification of biomarkers of endocrine disruption in humans and wildlife using metabolomic analyses; identifying biomarkers of contaminant exposure in aquatic organisms.
- Fate and behaviour of organic micropollutants such as endocrine disrupting agents and pharmaceutical substances in aquatic environments and biota.
- Identification of receptor active contaminants in the environment and human tissues using bioassay-directed fractionation and mass spectrometry.
- Metabolomic investigations of plant responses to non-pathogenic fingiusing mass spectrometry profiling of changes in the plant metabolome
