Bonnie Robinson Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Bonnie Robinson's research investigates the toxicological effects of environmental agents, particularly inorganic arsenic, on neurological development and cellular processes. Her work in zebrafish has explored how inorganic arsenic alters the development of specific neuron types, including dopaminergic and motor neurons, and has identified the Sonic hedgehog pathway as a key mediator in these developmental changes. Further investigations into arsenic's impact have utilized gene expression analyses to uncover potential mechanisms underlying arsenic-induced apoptosis in zebrafish.

Beyond environmental toxicology, Robinson's research extends to neuropharmacology, examining the mechanisms behind antidepressant actions. One publication explores the potential role of L-type calcium channels in the antidepressant effects of ketamine. Additionally, her work has focused on identifying circulating biomarkers for neurotoxicity, employing proteomics to detect fluidic endpoints of central nervous system toxicity in rodent models. Robinson is a highly cited researcher with an h-index of 20 and has published 43 papers, accumulating over 1,873 citations. She has collaborated with several researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Qiang Gu and Jyotshnabala Kanungo.
