Environmental Chemical Biology
Our group is interested in the development of bioanalytical methods to identify chemical contaminants and their toxicity mechanisms. Particularly, we aim to dissect the physical interactions between chemical contaminants and proteins, on the global level. Our group research involves environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and toxicology.
If you are interested in joining our group, please contact Prof. Peng at hui.peng@utoronto.ca.

May 2024-Yufeng's TTR paper is online (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.3c10973) |
In Yufeng's study, we successfully identified the majority of toxicants binding to TTR in the environment (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.3c10973). |
