OverviewAI-generated summary
Jyotshnabala Kanungo's research at the National Center for Toxicological Research focuses on understanding the neurotoxic effects of environmental agents and other compounds, utilizing zebrafish as a model organism. Her recent work investigates how inorganic arsenic impacts neuronal development, specifically altering dopaminergic and motor neuron development through pathways like Sonic hedgehog. Kanungo also examines the gene expression changes induced by substances like ketamine and inorganic arsenic in zebrafish embryos, contributing to the understanding of their potential mechanisms of action. She has published on screening tools for evaluating the neurotoxic potential of botanicals and has explored methods for neurotoxicity assessments, such as combining tissue clearing with Fluoro-Jade C labeling. Her research network includes collaborators such as Qiang Gu, Nathan C. Twaddle, Frederick A. Beland, and Camila Silva, all from the National Center for Toxicological Research, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Kanungo's work has resulted in 46 publications and 1,205 citations, with an h-index of 19.
