Education:
Dr. Barber received a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology from the University of Arizona in 1997 for studies on pulmonary arsenic metabolism. He was a post-doctoral fellow at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg, VA from 1997-2000 where he studied the mechanisms underlying organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy. Dr. Barber is an associate professor at the University of Florida Center for Environmental and Human Toxicology and serves as director of the Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory. His current research focuses on biochemical mechanisms of toxicity.
Research Interests:
His current research focuses on biochemical mechanisms of toxicity.
