ABSTRACT: Jochen has worked in Environmental Toxicology at UQ since 2007. The focus of his team’s research group is on measuring exposure to environmental chemicals as well as chemicals associated with lifestyle choices and social environments including drugs and pharmaceuticals. He and his team have established programs in assessing exposure such as an ongoing human biomonitoring program, a wastewater based drug monitoring program and a specimen archiving program for retrospective investigations. A key focus of his team’s work is on measuring exposure changes resulting from intervention and relating changes in exposure to health and/or environmental outcomes.
