People

Edmond Sanganyado

I am an associate professor in the School of Environment and Sustainability and the Toxicology Centre. I have a PhD in Environmental Toxicology from the University of California Riverside, where I was a Fulbright Scholar, and a BSc (Hons) in Applied Chemistry from the National University of Science Technology, Zimbabwe, across the street from where I was born. I enjoy reading biographies of people who forged atypical careers - I guess that is why I am a professional biographer of the atypical life of synthetical chemicals after their use.
