NWRC Research Scientists: Dr. Katherine E. Horak
Dr. Katherine Horak is a pharmacologist and toxicologist at the National Wildlife Research Center.
Research Project
The goal of the Population Management Project is to develop injectable and oral contraceptives to manage overabundant wildlife populations and reduce the spread of zoonotic diseases.
Current Research
Dr. Horak is currently involved in the development of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models of anticoagulant rodenticides warfarin and diphacinone for rats and quail. These models will generate approximations of rodenticide residues in various tissues and, therefore, provide a means to estimate the sensitivity of non-target species to rodenticide residues.
