Project description:We performed an untargeted metabolomic analysis on surficial human skin samples collected with moistened cotton swabs (water: ethanol, 50:50) using LC-HR-MS/MS. Data-dependent Acquisition was employed under positive ionization mode. Two cohorts were included, subjects exposed and non-exposed to petroleum-based chemicals.
Project description:Coral Stylophora pistillata was exposed to octocrylene at 300 and 1000 microg/L in sea water. Blank analyses are present, along with extract profiles of control and exposed corals.
Project description:Analyzing the US Center for Disease Control’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey chemical biomarker data, we identified a suite of toxicants, including metals, pesticides, and personal care product compounds, to which non-Hispanic Black women are disproportionately exposed. To characterize the impact of these toxicants on breast cancer pathways, we performed high throughput transcriptomic analysis of toxicant exposed breast cells.
Project description:To assess the impact of surface water across the Hun River, several sampling sites located in the mainstream and the tributary were selected representative of pollution gradient and different pollution source. Male adult zebrafish were exposed to surface water from seven sites for 4 days. The obiectives of the study was to evaluate the ability of transcriptomic profiles exposed to surface water to determine the potential biological effects, to differentiate different pollution source, and to identify the toxic components.
