The University of Saskatchewan (USask) and School of Environment and Sustainability (SENS) are pleased to invite applications for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Environmental Exposomics and Integrative Toxicology. The Canada Research Chairs Program is the flagship of a national strategy to make Canada a world-leading country in research and development.
Chemical contamination of the environment and the resulting health impacts on humans, animals and other biota represent one of the major challenges of the 21st century. An exposomics approach addresses the cumulative risk associated with interactions among multiple environmental exposures, biological perturbations, internal biochemical pathways, and epigenetic variations over the life span of an organism. Characterizing the exposome requires a holistic understanding of the abiotic and biotic processes that drive external exposure, uptake into biota, internal distribution, target site activity, and the...
