Student Representative
Catherine (Katie) Roberts has been a graduate student of the Toxicology Centre at the University of Saskatchewan since 2022. She completed her M.Sc. in 2025, and is currently pursuing her Ph.D.
Her research focuses on the effects of the emerging tire wear contaminant, 6PPD-quinone. Katie investigates 6PPD-quinone toxicity in early-life stage salmonids, in both sub-chronic and acute exposures. By examining changes in the transcriptome and xenometabolome of exposed organisms, her work aims to advance understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and species-specific sensitivity associated with 6PPD-quinone.
