This award funds research on the mechanisms of methylmercury-induced neurotoxicity, aiming to elucidate genetic and molecular pathways and evaluate temporal patterns of toxicity using model systems.
Description
Research project to identify and understand persistent and latent effects of methylmercury toxicity on biological pathways, using innovative technologies and models such as C. elegans and human induced pluripotent stem cells. Focuses on toxicological hierarchy, temporal susceptibility, and interrelated pathways of neurotoxicity.
