Dartmouth Toxic Metals Research Program

Karen E. Wetterhahn was a professor of chemistry at Dartmouth College and the founding director of Dartmouth's Toxic Metals Research Program. An expert in the mechanisms of metal toxicity, Professor Wetterhahn was best known for her research on chromium. She became ill and died in 1997, at the age of 48, as a result of a tragic laboratory accident involving a highly toxic mercury compound.
