Professional Title
Research Associate
Current research includes studies on the effects of chemicals and other stressors on the early developmental stages of fish and amphibians, endocrine disruption, and recently, sustainable development. Dr. Schoff teaches in the Biology Department and Integrated Biosciences graduate program at UMD. Courses include Ecotoxicology, Developmental Biology, and Integrated Biological Systems.
