PhD, Texas A&M University
Diplomate, American Board of Veterinary Toxicology
Research emphasis: Dr. Casteel's research interests focus on the biokinetics of lead, cadmium and arsenic from heavy metal-contaminated matrices using juvenile and pregnant swine as a model for children and pregnant women. This effort is specifically directed toward improving understanding of the absorption and distribution of lead, arsenic and cadmium from contaminated soils and mining waste from various Superfund sites, many of which are on the National Priority List. His interests also include biokinetic studies on DDT in a rat model.
