RESEARCH INTERESTS
The Fateye lab research focuses on environmental toxicology with the aim of developing context-specific indicators of environmental impact. His lab utilizes a multidisciplinary approach (analytical, genomics and bioassays) to study the toxicity and/or ecological impact of environmental pollutants in vertebrate and invertebrate models. On-going projects in his lab focus on (i) the impact of antibiotics on aquatic microbial ecology and clinical drug resistance in agricultural areas in Michigan; (ii) impact of microplastic pollutants from Lake Michigan on the toxicity to the roundworm Caenorrhabditis elegans. His previous research areas include clinical and epidemiological studies of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and in vitro/ in vivo studies of photodynamic therapy in models of prostate cancer. Dr. Fateye teaches Pharmacology, Physiology, and introduction to biomedical science research.
