Research Interests

Dr. Reisfeld’s research interests lie in areas of biological, biomedical, and environmental science that are relevant to human health. His focus, at present, is in examining the fate and effects of xenobiotics (foreign compounds, such as drugs and toxicants) in the body, including issues such as biodistribution, clearance, metabolism, pharmacological effect, and toxicity. His work also includes projects in ‘one health’, with a focus on issues that interlink human, animal, and environmental health.
