Joseph R. Shaw studies how pollutants, especially toxic metals like cadmium, affect aquatic animals such as fish and water fleas (Daphnia). The work combines molecular biology (genomics and gene-expression analysis) with studies of behavior, physiology, and evolution to understand how organisms respond and adapt to environmental contamination, and to predict chemical hazards across species.
