Jennifer L. Freeman studies how environmental chemicals—such as lead, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, often called 'forever chemicals'), pesticides, and herbicides—affect development and the nervous system, using zebrafish and human stem-cell-derived neurons as model systems. Her work examines behavioral, molecular, and physiological changes caused by early-life chemical exposure, including links to neurodegenerative disease risk and environmental justice concerns around hazardous waste sites. This research is relevant to students interested in toxicology, developmental biology, and public health impacts of pollutants.
