Research summary

Jason R. Cannon studies how environmental chemicals such as pesticides and PFAS (a group of persistent industrial and consumer product chemicals) damage brain cells and contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease. His lab investigates cellular stress mechanisms, including oxidative stress and ferroptosis (an iron-dependent form of cell death), and develops screening tools using model organisms like C. elegans to test chemical safety. Prospective students would work at the intersection of toxicology, neuroscience, and environmental health.
