The aim of our research is to monitor human exposure to toxicants from the environment. We develop sensitive analytical methods using mass spectrometry for measurements of exposure biomarkers in human matrix (e.g. blood and urine) which can reflect external exposure levels. We also study how the body handles toxicants with respect to uptake, metabolism and excretion including analyzing biomarkers representing early biological responses. The presentation will be about how to validate a biomarker of exposure, finding new exposures and exploring difficult human matrices
