Vicki Marlatt
Vicki Marlatt is a professor at Simon Fraser University and co-director of ICEDA since December 2023. Since the beginnings of ICEDA, Vicki has been particularly involved as the chair of the Committee on Research Initiatives and Excellence.
Her research interests include environmental toxicology, endocrinology, animal physiology, and molecular biology/toxicology in vertebrate and invertebrate models.
For many years, she has conducted experiments that not only implement internationally validated in vivo assays to test for endocrine disruptors in fish and frogs, but also incorporate additional new parameters aimed at developing molecular biomarkers of early-onset exposure that triggers adverse effects at the whole-body level.
Her current research program continues to focus on environmentally relevant low-level chronic exposure scenarios to multiple environmental contaminants and their impacts on vertebrate models at the molecular and whole organism level.
