Koop:Mos

I am a former graduate student of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (Institute of Ocean Sciences) and the Koop lab in the Centre for Biomedical Researchat the University of Victoria. My project focussed on the development and application of physiological and molecular biomarkers of environmental contaminant-associated toxicity in harbour seals.

After graduation, I worked as a Toxicologist for a Western Canadian environmental consulting company. I mostly carried out ecological risk assessments but also initiated and carried out a collaborative research projects at the Koop lab. This project investigated the impacts of oil spills on fish health.

I am currently working at the British Columbia Ministry of the Environment.
