Dr. Michelle Kossack is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Brown University, where she conducts research on the impact of environmental chemicals on reproductive health. She received her Bachelor of Science from UMASS Amherst in Environmental Science with a concentration in toxicology in 2013, and she earned her doctorate in Pharmacology and Toxicology from UC Davis in 2019. Her doctoral research studied the molecular mechanisms of sex determination in zebrafish. She is a 2nd year postdoc in the Plavicki lab at Brown University where she is studying the effects of environmental chemicals on the developing vasculature in the zebrafish gonad.

Collection Overview

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have become a powerful model for studying human development and disease. Correspondingly, the use of zebrafish in the field of toxicology has expanded with zebrafish larvae now being routinely used to study phenotypic, cellular, and molecular toxicological outcomes. The number of tools available to study the specific effects of toxicant exposures on development has significantly increased and the application of these techniques allows for the dissection of toxicant effects at the cellular and molecular level. This collection aims to highlight how tools can be utilized in the study of mechanisms of toxicity in zebrafish at different stages of zebrafish development.
