Kassotis Lab

The Kassotis Lab

is open at Wayne State University! We joined the Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (lab home in the Integrative Biosciences Center - IBio), with a co-appointment in the Department of Pharmacology.

Our lab will be focused on understanding endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and mixtures, and their potential impacts on human/animal health - with a particular focus on metabolic health (e.g. obesity, etc.).

My research uses a mixture of cell culture mechanism assays, coupled with zebrafish and mouse models, to characterize molecular mechanisms underpinning potential impacts of EDCs on human and animal health.
