Dr. Theodore Henry's Research Program

Dr. Henry’s research focusses on the effects of environmental contaminants on fish physiology and pathology.
A primary objective of Dr. Henry’s research is to connect effects observed at the molecular level to effects in
tissues, organisms, and populations and considers laboratory, mesocosm, and field scales.

Current projects include:

- Disruption of fish physiology by environmental endocrine disruptors

- Effects of acid deposition on trout in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

- Development of zebrafish as fluorescent bioreporters of environmental contaminants

- Investigation of toxic algae using toxicogenomics and histopathology

- Evaluation of the effects of electric fields on threatened and endangered fishes

- Investigation of the toxicity of nanomaterials in fish  MORE

- Development of a bioluminescent bioreporter for detection of off-flavor compounds in aquaculture ponds
