Dr. Elliott Price
Junior PI - Human exposome
Elliott Price is a postdoc within the Human Exposome research group of Prof. Jana Klánová. Elliott and his team focus on the development of high-resolution mass spectrometry methods to profile environmental chemicals and metabolites in human biospecimen. Application of these methods is hoped to provide a more in-depth characterisation of chemical exposure and associated biological responses. Greater characterisation is vital to further understanding about the influence of environmental chemicals on health and phenotype.
Elliott gained his PhD and undertook postdoctoral research in the Fraser Lab at Royal Holloway University of London, where he focussed upon metabolic profiling of the tropical tuber crop, yam (Dioscorea spp.). He then joined MUNI in 2019 as a postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Sports Studies & RECETOX.
