Rate My Professor Matthew Ross

Ross's research focuses on molecular toxicology, including carboxylesterase activity, lipid peroxidation products, endocannabinoid metabolism, inflammation regulation, and the impacts of environmental xenobiotics and pesticides. Key publications include 'Inhibition of carboxylesterase activity of THP1 monocytes by reactive oxygen species' (2010), 'Catabolism of 4-Hydroxy-2-trans-Nonenal by THP1 Monocytes' (2011), 'Effects of Toxicologically Relevant Xenobiotics and the Lipid Peroxidation Product 4-Hydroxynonenal on the Expression and Activity of Carboxylesterases 1 and 2' (2014), 'Lipopolysaccharide suppresses carboxylesterase 2g activity and 2-arachidonoylglycerol hydrolysis: a possible mechanism to regulate inflammation' (2015), 'Error-prone PCR-based mutagenesis strategy for rapidly generating male-specific lethal influenza virus' (2015), and 'Pharmacokinetics of three novel pyridinium aldoxime carbamates in rat plasma' (2022). He has received the Donald Zacharias Early Career Undergraduate Research Mentor Award, a 2019 Research Award from the Office of Research and Economic Development, and a 2025 Safety Challenge Coin for lab safety. Ross has been recognized for excellence in undergraduate mentoring and research support. His work advances understanding of toxicological mechanisms in environmental health and veterinary medicine.
