Dr. Markus Brinkmann is an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability and director of the USask Toxicology Centre.
His research evaluates the effects of containments in aquatic organisms using risk assessment modelling. These computational models are informed by experimental data and combine knowledge from different fields — such as toxicology, environmental chemistry and hydrology — to answer questions such as:
- what is the influence of environmental and physiological factors and how can we predict these?
- how do findings from the lab translate to the field situation?
- what are the relevant parameters in the field?
Research areas
- Exposure and risk assessment modelling
