The Omagamre Environmental Toxicology & Intervention (EnviToxIn) Lab at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) is interested in exploring everything PFAS — from environmental monitoring to biological impact assessment and innovative remediation. We study PFAS uptake and phenotypic changes in crops like soybeans, alongside dose-response studies using armyworms, mosquitoes, and fruit flies. Using genomic and molecular tools, we uncover mechanisms underlying PFAS-induced phenotypes. Our remediation interests include phyto-extraction, microbial transformation, and functionalized carbon materials for PFAS adsorption, immobilization, and PFAS-ligand binding to support enzymatic biotransformation.
