This funding, totalling over SEK$6.2 Million (≈CAD$840,000 or USD$585,000), will support Dr. Sandoval Herrera as a staff researcher at SLU (the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) where she has been working as a postdoctoral fellow. With this funding, Dr. Sandoval Herrera will further grow the research program in bat ecotoxicology she built, in part, in our lab here at UTSC. The title of her grant is, “PharmaBat: Investigating Bat-Mediated Transfer of Aquatic Pharmaceuticals to Terrestrial Ecosystems and Implications for Bat Health.” We congratulate Dr. Sandoval Herrera on this major award!
