Yura Lee

Environmental toxicologist with a future-oriented approach, aiming to assess the endocrine, neurotoxic, and reproductive effects of environmental pollutants on terrestrial and aquatic organisms and their potential impacts on human health. Experienced in zebrafish-based toxicity research, molecular biology techniques (qPCR, ELISA, RT-qPCR), and behavioral toxicity assessments (Daniovision).

Currently enhancing data analysis skills to integrate quantitative toxicology and environmental exposure modeling into research. Successfully led government-funded environmental projects, focusing on exposure modeling, mixture toxicity assessment, and systematic literature reviews. Contributed as a third author in multiple peer-reviewed publications (Chemosphere, Critical Reviews in Environmental Science & Technology).

Seeking a PhD position in environmental toxicology to explore the long-term ecological and human health risks of persistent pollutants. Passionate about bridging experimental toxicology with data-driven analysis to advance environmental health sciences.
