Research Interest
Dr. Nurulnadia bt Mohd Yusoff Research Interest includes Toxicology approach has been used to investigate the effects of contaminants (e.g endocrine disruptor, metals) on living organisms. The studies normally focus on in vivo observation. Besides toxicity test, the level of contaminants also measured from field collection to get the actual values from natural environment. Biomarker of contaminant is another topic of interest in order to correlate to the effects in organism. Recently research has focused on the concentration of metals in fish and sediment. The stress level was measured in their tissue to justify the relationship between metal accumulations to the stress indicator. This research has provided an interesting insight as stress indicator showed specific effect on certain tissues.
