Amy Rand is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Biochemistry at Carleton University. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms associated with exposure to emerging environmental contaminants, particularly how these contaminants interact with dietary lipids, such as omega-6 fatty acids, and interfere with lipid metabolic signaling pathways. Her work investigates the effects of the total environment, which includes nutrition and emerging contaminants, on cell function, injury, and protection in organisms. By examining the interplay between lipids and contaminants, Rand aims to enhance understanding of how environmental factors contribute to the regulation of health and the onset of disease. She employs tools from biochemistry, analytical chemistry, environmental toxicology, and molecular biology in her research program.
