She is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) and the American Board of Toxicology (ABT), and a Fellow of the International Academy of Toxicologic Pathologists (FIATP).  Her primary research has been in the health effects and pathophysiology of natural toxins and environmental toxicants with a focus on mycotoxins and food safety. She has expertise in pulmonary toxicity and has worked with dogs, pigs, rodents and other species.

Wanda has over 100 scientific peer reviewed publications in the fields of pathology and toxicology, and is senior editor of the Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology (1991, 2002, 2013) and Fundamentals of Toxicologic Pathology (1998, 2009) published by Academic Press/Elsevier.
