Research Interests:

Dr. Babin has 10 years experience as principal investigator working with chemical and biologicasl warfare agents including sulfur mustard, nerve agents, toxins, and Bacillus anthracis. His studies are conducted to produce data in support of medical countermeasure development against chemical and biological agents for use in military and civilian populations.
