Research summary
AI-generated

Kan Shao's work centers on assessing the health risks of chemical contaminants such as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, sometimes called 'forever chemicals'), heavy metals, and mycotoxins, often using probabilistic risk-assessment methods and animal models like zebrafish. The research combines toxicology, statistical and bioinformatic approaches, and studies of how pollutant exposure affects organisms across generations. The publication record spans environmental toxicology, food safety, and quantitative methods for evaluating chemical hazards.
