Biography
Christie M. Sayes is currently working as anAssociate Professor of Environmental Science at BAYLOR uNIVERSITY. sHE HAS COMPLETED HER Ph.D., Chemistry, Rice University, Houston, TX & M.S., Chemistry, Rice University, Houston, TX & B.S., Chemistry, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA. Dr. Christie M. Sayes’s primary research area of interest is environmental health & safety. Currently, she focuses on exposure characterization along the product value chain. She has more than a decade of experience in the fields of nanotechnology and nanotoxicology and has authored numerous publications, including original research, invited reviews and book chapters. Sayes has proven abilities in providing technical guidance and leadership to students, technicians, and colleagues; a high aptitude for developing complex research projects; substantial training in nanotechnology-related techniques & instruments; significant experience working independently & collaboratively across disciplines and organizations; and excellent communication skills. The goal of the research performed in her laboratory is to investigate the fate, transformation, and biological effects of individual particles and particle systems. Her group addresses several fundamental issues relevant to the development safe and effective formulations in biological and environmental applications. These issues include material characterization, exposure kinetics, hazard identification and communication, and mechanistic and molecular analyses.
