Title Of Project:
Pb/Mn Cell Signaling And Gene Expression In Primary Neurons
Focus:
The research is examining whether Pb (lead)/Mn (manganese) metal mixtures conspire to alter cellular signaling, global gene expression and cause DNA damage in an additive or synergistic manner, which may be predictive of neuronal disease initiation and or progression.
