Research project funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to study the impact of metals in wildfire smoke on neuroinflammation using mouse models.
Description
This project focuses on assessing the toxic influence of metals in biomass combustion inhalation, elucidating the role of endothelial adhesion molecules in neuroinflammatory outcomes, and delineating mechanisms of neuroinflammation resolution following wildfire smoke exposure. The award is funded by the NIEHS and involves research on wildland fire smoke, metals contamination, and neuroinflammation in mouse models.
