Jenna M. Currier

Postdoctoral Fellow in Chapel Hill, North Carolina

A toxicologist with multi-disciplinary experience encompassing analytical chemistry, epidemiology, genomics, bioinformatics, risk assessment, and computational model development. My research projects have included international collaborations, NIH-funded cohort studies, and analytical method development resulting in four first-authored and eight co-authored peer-reviewed publications.

As a current postdoctoral fellow at the U.S. EPA, I am studying the underlying mechanisms that differentiate cellular responses to oxidative exposures in human lung cells for the purpose of biomarker discovery and predictive model development using a systems biology approach. These research efforts have been recognized with several awards at local and national meetings. As a graduate student, my research focused on investigated new biomarkers for assessing susceptibility to chronic arsenic toxicity through the optimization of an analytical technique for quantifying toxic trivalent arsenic species in complex biological samples.

I have a Ph.D. in toxicology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a B.S. in biochemistry from the University of Delaware.
