Kimberly Keil Stietz  – PhD. Principal Investigator. My training is in the field of developmental biology and neurotoxicology and I started as an Assistant Professor at UW-Madison in 2019 in the Department of Comparative Biosciences. My research interests include urinary tract development, the influence of genetic and environmental factors on urinary function, and mechanisms by which environmental factors influence urinary function.
