Biography

Dr. Kevin Kleinow is currently working as Professor of Veterinary Physiology, Pharmacology and Toxicology in School of Veterinary Medicine. His research interests are Comparative Biomedical Sciences, biotransformation etc.  

Research Intrest

Dr. Kleinow's research interests center on mechanistic and applied aspects of aquatic animal toxicology, physiology and pharmacology. Focus areas include 1) biotransformation and transporter functions as modulators of xenobiotic bioavailability and excretion; 2) elaboration of basic mechanisms involved in the disposition of carcinogens, drugs and other xenobiotics in aquatic species; 3) the food chain transfer and consumption of xenobiotics within and from the aquatic food chain and 4) dispositional aspects of developmental toxicity.
