Amy Rand is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Carleton University. She obtained her Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry from the University of Toronto in 2013. Her research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms associated with exposure to emerging environmental contaminants. Specifically, she is interested in how these contaminants interact with dietary lipids, such as omega-6 fatty acids, and their interference with lipid metabolic signaling pathways, which control significant biological processes. Through her expertise in biochemistry, analytical chemistry, environmental toxicology, and molecular biology, Dr. Rand investigates how the total environment, including nutrition and these contaminants, affects cellular function, injury, and protection in organisms. Her work aims to enhance the understanding of how the interplay between lipids and contaminants contributes to health regulation and the onset of diseases.
