Professor Environmental Sciences
Biography

BSc Biochemistry (McGill University) PhD Biology (University of Ottawa)

Research Intrest

Dr. Head’s research focuses on understanding and predicting the effects of environmental chemicals on the health of birds. This research is multidisciplinary, integrating aspects of molecular toxicology and avian ecology. Laboratory models are used to study molecular mechanisms underlying avian responses to chemical exposure. These finding are applied to assessing the health of wild birds through field studies and the use of molecular/genetic biomarkers.
