Winn
Faculty
Associate Professor
Fish Biotechnology
Research Interests
The main focus of my research is on using fish as models to meet the dual needs for improved assessment of genetic damage associated with exposure to chemical and physical mutagens in the environment, and for new animal models for investigations into basic mechanisms of mutagenesis.Interdiciplinary Reaserch: Dr. Winn is a member of The Interdisciplinary Toxicology Program (ITP) at the University of Georgia. This program is dedicated to the high quality graduate education and excellence in research, with the goal of providing strong interdisciplinary graduate training, research and service programs in toxicology. |
