As a dedicated Master's student at Auburn University, I am deeply engaged in exploring the toxicological effects of microplastics on human cells. My research aims to uncover the intricate molecular interactions and potential health impacts of microplastic exposure, contributing valuable insights to this emerging field.
With a strong foundation in biomedical sciences and a keen interest in materials engineering, I am committed to advancing scientific knowledge and applying my expertise to improve human health. I am eager to collaborate with fellow researchers and educators who share my enthusiasm for discovery and innovation!
This research examines how real-world microplastics and nanoplastics affect human brain immune cells. Using plastics from everyday consumer items, it shows rapid cellular stress and mitochondrial damage linked to neurodegenerative disease. The findings suggest current laboratory studies may underestimate the true health risks of chronic plastic exposure.
