Research
Our lab carries out research on the neurotoxicity of
environmental contaminants, particularly heavy metal toxicity to
astrocytes. Astrocytes are the main depot for several metals
in the brain and also serve protective roles against oxidative
damage. We are studying the interactions of metals with
chaperone proteins and metal transporters in these cells and their
involvement in neurodegenerative diseases.
