Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Laura K. Schnackenberg's research program focuses on the toxicological assessment of chemical compounds and the development of advanced methods for studying drug-induced organ toxicities. Her work investigates the mechanisms by which chemicals, including environmental contaminants and pharmaceutical agents, impact cellular function, particularly within the liver and kidneys. She has published research on the toxicity of tire rubber antiozonants and their transformation products in human hepatocytes, as well as the effects of specific drugs like pexidartinib on mitochondrial function and cell death pathways.

Schnackenberg also explores the application of cutting-edge technologies for toxicity testing and biomarker discovery. This includes utilizing organ-on-a-chip platforms, such as the Emulate® Liver-Chip, for co-culturing human primary liver cells to study drug-induced liver injury. Additionally, her research has involved the discovery of proteomic biomarkers for predicting kidney recovery in patients undergoing dialysis and the analysis of serum metabolite profiles to predict outcomes in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy. She has also investigated the prediction of oncology drug-induced cardiotoxicity using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

Her scholarly contributions are evidenced by 87 publications and 3,499 citations, with an h-index of 34. Schnackenberg maintains an active research group and collaborates with colleagues at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Katy S Papineau and Lijun Ren, with whom she has co-authored five publications.
