Research Area:
- My research focuses on molecular toxicology and epigenetics using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. My PhD investigates the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms of potassium bromate-induced toxicity and the protective effects of metformin, with emphasis on oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, metabolism, and transgenerational inheritance.
