Bio
Dr. Venables’ areas of research are invertebrate immunoassay techniques for assessment of terrestrial toxicity and LC/MS-based identification of proteins from archaeological pottery. With the Institute of Applied Sciences, his research interests include trace containments in wastewater treatment plant effluent and watershed protections. Lastly, in the Center for Plant Lipid Research, Dr. Venables’ main research interests include N-acylethanolamines in cytoprotection and signaling.
