This award funds research to identify biomarkers of exposure to electronic cigarette aerosol by studying free radicals using advanced techniques. The goal is to support tobacco regulatory science through translational research and training.
Description
The project focuses on developing biomarkers for exposure to electronic cigarette aerosols by analyzing free radicals. The research involves advanced techniques such as pulsed EPR and mass spectroscopy. The project aims to identify free radical structures and their biological targets in rodent models to inform tobacco regulatory science. It includes training components in metabolomics and free radical structural identification.
