Analytical and Toxicological Characterization of Novel Nitrogen Containing Disinfection Byproducts
DownloadFall 2012
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are an unwanted consequence of water disinfection. Consumption of chlorinated drinking water has been associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer; however, the DBP or DBPs responsible has not been identified. The N-nitrosamines are a class of DBPs that are...

Cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, and genotoxicity of emerging drinking water disinfection byproducts
DownloadSpring 2014
Drinking water disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are formed unintentionally when organic matter in raw water reacts with disinfectants used to kill pathogens. Epidemiological studies have shown that an increased risk of bladder cancer is associated with consumption of chlorinated water, but little...

Understanding the trans-cleavage Activity of CRISPR-Cas Systems for RNA Detection Applications
DownloadFall 2022
The discovery and characterization of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) systems with trans-cleavage activity led to the rise of CRISPR-based diagnostics. A ribonucleoprotein (RNP), consisting of a CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) and a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) or single...
