Michele La Merrill conducts integrated toxicological and epidemiological studies to understand susceptibility to environmental diseases. These susceptibilities include environmental insults during the exquisitely sensitive developmental period, poor diet and ensuing metabolic diseases, and genetic and epigenetic predispositions. She earned her Ph.D. in Toxicology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and her M.P.H. in epidemiology during her postdoctoral fellowship at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She is an Assistant Professor of Environmental Toxicology at the University of California, Davis where she teaches courses in Toxicology and on Gene x Environment Interaction. She is a member of the IARC Monographs Working Group for volume 113, on some organochlorine insecticides and chlorphenoxy herbicides.
