Environmental Chemistry
Dr. Thomas Borch
Assistant Professor, Soil and Crop Sciences
Email: thomas.borch@colostate.edu
Office Phone: (970) 491-6235
Faculty Profile
- Postdoctoral Fellowship, Soil and Environmental Biogeochemistry, Stanford University
- PhD, Environmental Soil Chemistry, Montana State University
- MS, Environmental Chemistry, University of Copenhagen
- BS, Environmental Chemistry, University of Copenhagen
Dr. Borsch studies the environmental fate and transport of steroid hormones, anthropogenic wastewater indicators, personal care products, arsenic, uranium, reduced nitrogen (NH4+) and TNT. The lab is also investigating how iron minerals impact the fate of redox sensitive contaminants in the presence of iron reducing bacteria. A significant goal is to elucidate carbon sequestration mechanisms by soil minerals.
Dr. Greg Dooley
Director of Analytical Services, Center for Environmental Medicine
Email: gregory.dooley@colostate.edu
Office Phone: (970) 491-5128
Faculty Profile
- BS, Fisheries Biology, Frostburg State University
- MS, Environmental Toxicology, University of Georgia
- PhD, Toxicology, Colorado State University
Dr. Dooley is the Director of the CEM Analytical Laboratory and supervises all the organic chemical analysis performed in the laboratory. His research involves the development of analytical methods utilizing state of the art instrumentation to measure organic molecules of current interest. With the rapid improvements in analytical technologies, we are able to greatly improve the selectivity and sensitivity of our analytical methods for trace level chemical analysis.
Dr. Chuck Henry
Assistant Professor, Chemistry
Email: chuck.henry@colostate.edu
Office Phone: (970) 491-2852
Faculty Profile
- NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship, University of Kansas
- PhD, Analytical Chemistry, University of Arkansas
- BS, Chemistry, Missouri Southern State College
Dr. Henry’s research focuses on new bioanalytical and environmental measurement tools such as the use of new Lab-on-a-Chip chemistry which will reduce the steps of a traditional chemical assay to a single device the size of a credit card. Related to toxicology, these methods can help understand the mechanisms associated with aerosol toxicity. The tools enhance the detection of metabolic changes that occur in the use of chemotherapy as a way to provide feedback on reoccurrence of tumors in cancer research.
Dr. Howard S. Ramsdell
Associate Director Consulting Services, Center for Environmental Medicine; Associate Professor, Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences
Email: howard.ramsdell@colostate.edu
Office Phone: (970) 491-5698
Faculty Profile
- PhD, Biochemistry and Biophysics, Oregon State University
- BA, Chemistry, Pomona College, California
Dr. Ramsdell's research involves the use of biochemical approaches for the study of toxic chemical exposures and effects. His interests include the processes responsible for the bioactivation and detoxification of toxic chemicals as well as the biochemical changes caused by toxic chemical exposure. Recent and ongoing projects include field and laboratory biomarker studies of wildlife species (mammalian, avian, amphibian) and humans potentially exposed to environmental contaminants.
