Juergen Gailer, PhD
PhD in Analytical Chemistry Karl-Franzens Universitaet Graz/Austria
Areas of Research
We develop and apply metallomics methods to better understand the role that non-essential environmentally abundant metals (e.g. Cd, Hg, As) and metal-based drugs play in biology. Our goal is to establish the biomolecular basis for the chronic toxicity of inorganic pollutants and that of the toxic side effects of metal-based drugs in mammals. Knowledge about these mechanisms is critical in terms of developing strategies to mitigate metal-related adverse health effects in humans.
