María S. Sepúlveda studies how chemical pollutants, including oil spills, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a class of persistent industrial chemicals), nanoparticles, and endocrine-disrupting compounds, affect aquatic and other wildlife at the molecular, physiological, and reproductive level. Her work combines lab exposure studies, gene expression analysis, and computational modeling to understand toxicity mechanisms in organisms such as fish, amphibians, and small invertebrates like Daphnia. This research supports environmental risk assessment for emerging contaminants.
