Julie Rice is a biologist in the NIEHS Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT). She focuses on work with the LCMS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry) in the Mechanistic Toxicology Branch. Rice extracts and analyzes biological samples, , for targeted and untargeted metabolomics looking at potentially toxic substances. Rice uses the Vanquish Liquid Chromatography instrument and the Q-Exactive Plus and Orbitrap Exploris 240 Mass Spectrometers for her research.
Prior to working with the LCMS, Rice worked in the WormTox group, where she assisted in the development of several bioassays using C. elegans as an alternative model organism in high-throughput toxicological screening. These include assays measuring growth, reproduction, and feeding rates of worms exposed to various toxicants.
Julie received her B.S. from the University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse in 1986. Prior to working at NIEHS, she performed nutrient analysis on water, soil, and plant material at the Duke University Wetland Center in Durham, North Carolina.
