Profile
Biography
Sabrina Gravel travaille dans le champ de recherche Prévention des risques chimiques et biologiques depuis 2012. Titulaire d’un doctorat en Santé publique, option toxicologie et analyse du risque de l’Université de Montréal, son domaine d’expertise la toxicodynamique des substances chimiques dans l’organisme ou les effets sur la santé des expositions professionnelles à des contaminants chimiques. Ses intérêts de recherche portent sur les expositions dans les emplois dits « verts », sur les perturbateurs endocriniens (principalement sur les substances ignifuges), sur les sensibilisants et irritants et sur les pesticides.
