Samuel Keer

Samuel Keer is a Junior Research Officer/PhD candidate at the Centre. His primary area of interest is neurotoxic and other health effects of occupational exposures to hazardous agents. He has a strong interest and involvement in occupational exposure assessment, including the development of specialised equipment and novel methods for assessing workplace exposures. He is currently coordinating a large study looking at, amongst other things, neurotoxic effects of exposure to solvents in the NZ collision repair industry, which is also the topic of his PhD.
