In general, Dr. Doorn's work involves examining the role of reactive intermediates in toxicity and disease. Specifically, his mechanistic, hypothesis-driven research focuses on the potential role of protein modification by a reactive metabolite of dopamine metabolism in neurotoxicity and...

My research group studies inhaled environmental and occupational pollutants and engineered nanomaterials to understand mechanisms of their toxicity to the lung as well as the immune, neurological, and endocrine systems. We characterize toxicity in a manner that allows us to translate research...
