Dr. Alexandra Noël received her bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences, her master’s in Occupational and Environmental Health, as well as her PhD in Public Health, with a specialization in Toxicology and Risk Assessment, all from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Montreal (Quebec, Canada). Her PhD research on nanotoxicology focused on the generation and characterization of aerosols composed of nanoparticles, as well as on the pulmonary effects induced by those inhaled nanoparticles. Her post-doctoral training at Louisiana State University (LSU) further complemented her expertise related to inhalation toxicology of environmental pollutants, which included cigarette second-hand smoke and combustion-derived ultrafine particles. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences of the School of Veterinary Medicine at LSU. She conducts inhalation toxicology studies on cardio-pulmonary effects of in utero and adult exposures to second-hand smoke, electronic-cigarette aerosols and nanoparticles. Her publication record includes 21 peer-reviewed scientific articles that generated over 200 citations, and more than 70 oral and poster presentations at national and international scientific conferences. Dr. Noël’s laboratory is presently funded by the NIEHS and the NHLBI to conduct research on electronic-cigarette aerosols and cardio-pulmonary toxicity in vitro and in vivo. In addition, Dr. Noël is the leader of the Inhalation Toxicology Core of the LSU Superfund Research Program. She is the 2020-2021 Vice-President of the Society of Toxicology (SOT) South-Central Regional Chapter, she is also a member of the SOT Education and Career Development Committee, and she was the chair of the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Lung Development Injury & Repair that was held in August 2017.
