Biography
Celia Y. Chen research as an ecotoxicologist over the last 15 years has focused on the fate and effects of metal contaminants in aquatic food webs in freshwater and estuarine ecosystems. She explore the chemical and ecological factors that influence metal uptake, including salinity, natural organic matter, feeding strategy, and food web structure. Her colleagues and she also are developing killifish microarrays as biomarkers of metal exposure.
