SUMMARY:EES Seminar: Advancing PFAS Science\, Cheryl Murphy\, Michigan Stat
 e University
DESCRIPTION:Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a diverse class 
 of persistent contaminants that frequently occur in complex mixtures acros
 s environmental compartments. Understanding their behavior\, toxicity\, an
 d risks requires approaches that span chemistry\, biology\, engineering\, 
 and policy. In this seminar\, I will discuss advances in PFAS mixture scie
 nce\, including high-throughput toxicity screening\, mechanistic anchoring
 \, and modeling approaches that help bridge molecular-level interactions w
 ith ecosystem and human health outcomes. I will also highlight the interdi
 sciplinary activities of the Center for PFAS Research at Michigan State Un
 iversity\, including collaborative projects with engineers\, toxicologists
 \, chemists\, and stakeholders. Together\, these efforts aim to inform ris
 k assessment\, support remediation strategies\, and provide science-based 
 guidance to communities and decision-makers navigating PFAS challenges.\n\
 nDr. Cheryl Murphy is a Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildl
 ife at Michigan State University and the founding Director of the Center f
 or PFAS Research. Her research focuses on ecotoxicology\, with an emphasis
  on contaminant mixtures\, fish physiology\, bioaccumulation modeling\, an
 d the ecological impacts of persistent chemicals such as PFAS. Dr. Murphy 
 has over 25 years of experience studying contaminants in aquatic systems\,
  with extensive work in the Great Lakes. She has authored numerous peer-re
 viewed publications and has been a principal investigator on projects fund
 ed by state\, federal\, and international agencies. In addition to her res
 earch\, she is actively engaged in risk communication and has collaborated
  with stakeholders\, policymakers\, and the public to translate complex PF
 AS science into accessible information.
