Research
Nancy Breen teaches analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis, and classes in the general chemistry sequence. Her doctoral and post-doctoral work was in the field of Raman Spectroscopy. Currently, her research uses Gas Chromatography to determine the fatty acid profile of various marine samples including aquacultured eggs, brood-stock diets, muscle tissue and algae. The information garnered from the profile can lead to improvements in aquaculture techniques to optimize production and can also be used to expound the health benefits of human consumption of fish.
