Markus Brinkmann
University of Saskatchewan - Toxicology Centre
Dr. Markus Brinkmann is the Centennial Enhancement Chair in Mechanistic Environmental Toxicology and Associate Professor in the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan (USask). He is the Director of USask’s Toxicology Centre and a member of the Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS). Dr. Brinkmann studies the uptake and effects of chemical contaminants in aquatic organisms, including the influence of environmental and physiological factors, and translates lab studies into real-life situations. Dr. Brinkmann uses an interdisciplinary approach, rooted in toxicology, environmental chemistry, and hydrology, to explore these environmental problems. He earned a PhD at Aachen University in Germany before moving to Canada in 2016.
