Lydy Research Lab

The Lydy laboratory is at the forefront of environmental toxicology research. Our groundbreaking studies unravel the mysteries of how these chemicals move and change in the environment, and we explore how multiple stressors intertwine to affect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. By delving into the complex interplay of chemical and biological factors, we are pioneering new understandings of toxicity, bioavailability, and bioaccumulation.

Meet Dr. Lydy

My areas of research interest include evaluating the effects of chemical mixtures, developing a basic understanding of the chemical and biological factors affecting toxicity, bioavailability and bioaccumulation, remediation of contaminated sites and evaluating the effectiveness of Best Management Practices in reducing pesticide and nutrient loadings into aquatic systems. I have received funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, industry and state sources to conduct research in these areas.
