What is TRACE Lab?

TRACE Lab (Transdisciplinary Action confronting Contaminants in the Environment) is a lab based out of Trent University in Ontario, Canada. Our work examines the connections between contaminants and environmental justice through transdisciplinary approaches bringing together environmental toxicology, chemistry, and community knowledges.

Fostering an environment where we work together

TRACE Lab was founded in 2024 and has multiple projects working with communities impacted by contaminants in the environment. Through collaborative research inside and outside of the lab, our team aims to create research that is produced with multiple perspectives, skill sets and knowledges.
