Area of Interest
The Fry lab focuses on understanding how environmental exposures to toxic substances are associated with human disease. With a particular focus on genomic and epigenomic perturbations, her lab uses toxicogenomic and systems biology approaches to identify key molecular pathways that associate environmental exposure with diseases. A current focus in the lab is to study prenatal exposure to various environmental contaminants including arsenic, cadmium, and perflourinated chemicals. Fry aims to understand molecular mechanisms by which early exposures are associated with long-term health effects in humans. Ultimately, Frye’s lab aims to identify mechanisms of contaminant-induced disease and the basis for inter-individual disease susceptibility.
