Biography and Expertise
Dr. Rohlman's research activities have focused on the design, development, and validation of computerized test methods to assess neurotoxic effects and neurological disorders in humans exposed to chemical and physical agents.
She has conducted research examining exposure and health effects in agricultural communities including Hispanic seasonal and migrant workers. Her current research is focused on identifying and characterizing adverse effects of pesticide exposure, specifically organophosphate exposure, on neurobehavioral performance.
Research Interests:
- Neurotoxic effects and neurological disorders in humans exposed to chemical and other agents
- Impaired populations exposed to workplace hazards
- Adverse effects of pesticide exposure on neurobehavioral performance
Keywords: Neurobehavioral; Pesticides; Training; Agriculture.
Research Interests: Occupational and environmental exposures impact all people, however, certain populations are at greater risk, including children, young workers, and those working in hazardous industries, which often include immigrant workers who may have additional risk factors. My research activities include both basic and applied research to identify, characterize, and prevent occupational and environmental illness and injury in high-risk populations.
