The toxicology minor at Nazareth University is designed for students who are interested in learning more about how the chemicals we are exposed to through our air, water, food, and other sources affect our health.
This is one of only a dozen toxicology minors in the U.S.
The toxicology minor suits students interested in many fields, such as the life and health sciences, public health, sociology, anthropology, public policy, economics, and law.
Anne Pysnik researched phytoremediation — using plants to remove toxins — with professors at Nazareth, while studying environmental science and toxicology. She secured a competitive internship with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, looking into titanium dioxide and tracking tasks for work on the Ebola virus.
