Rebecca Klaper is Shaw Associate Scientist at the Great Lakes Water Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her research examines the impact of various emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, as well as natural stressors on freshwater organisms. Klaper's research team uses genomic data as a tool to investigate the impacts of these various potential stressors and to develop biomarkers of exposure as tools for ecological risk assessment. She received her PhD (ecology) and MS (entomology) from the University of Georgia, and her BS (biology) from the University of Illinois.
