About Tessa Steiniche

Tessa Steiniche’s research examines ecological and evolutionary predictors of endocrine disruption in primates. She works at Kibale National Park, Uganda using noninvasive methods to measure primate exposure and susceptibility to persistent organic pollutants. Through a lens of evolutionary toxicology, this work has direct implications for chemical risk assessment, regulatory policy, and conservation strategy.
