Dr. Findlay’s current research program has five components: (1) developing and testing predictive models of ecosystem response to anthropogenic stress; (2) developing and testing mathematical models of the evolution of resistance in cancer; (3) developing and applying methods for assessing scientific weight of evidence in environmental and biomedical sciences, particularly with respect to environmental contaminants and cancer therapeutics; (4) operationalizing general decision principles (e.g. the precautionary principle) for decision-making under high scientific uncertainty; and (5) integrating traditional and scientific knowledge systems in environmental and human health risk assessment
