Biography 

Dr. Hansen's Immunology group at Washington Fishery Research Center focuses on immune responses to infection in fish, the development of immune-related tools (mAbs) and reagents for salmonids and the impact of environmental chemicals on immune response potential. We are particularly interested in the effect of endocrine disrupting chemicals on innate immunity.
