Nadia I. Georgieva

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nadia I. Georgieva's research program investigates the biological effects of environmental exposures, with a recent focus on 1,3-butadiene and its metabolites. Her work examines the formation of specific hemoglobin adducts, which serve as biomarkers for exposure and potential health risks. This research includes studies on sex-specific differences in adduct formation, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of how environmental agents affect individuals differently.

Her laboratory utilizes both animal models and human biomonitoring to assess these exposures. Georgieva has secured federal funding from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIH/NIEHS) for a project titled "Understanding the origins of the mutational landscape in cancer." This grant, totaling $719,050, supports her investigation into the molecular mechanisms underlying environmentally induced genetic alterations that can lead to cancer.

Georgieva has published 28 articles, accumulating 407 citations, and holds an h-index of 11. She collaborates with Gunnar Boysen at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she has co-authored five publications. Her active research lab website indicates ongoing experimental work and data generation in her areas of expertise.
