Biography
Leticia working on her PhD in Biology under Dr. Patino. Her research focuses on the toxicity and mechanisms of action of endocrine disruptors -specifically PBDEs- in fish. . She is currently working in the USGS Project: Columbia River Contaminants and Habitat Characterization (CR ConHab): Tracking Occurrence and Foodweb Effects of Polybrominated Flame Retardants and Endocrine Disrupting Compounds.
