Research title: Intergenerational effects of maternal exposure to chemical mixtures on offspring reproductive and metabolic health
Research summary
My research focuses on skeletal muscle physiology and metabolic health and biological effects of prenatal environmental exposure, particularly endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). I use a Biosolids-Treated Pasture (BTP) sheep model established at the University of Glasgow's Cochno Farm and Research Centre. This model provides a real-world approach to investigating the effects of fetal exposure to low-level mixtures of environmental chemicals during pregnancy.
My research interests include endocrine-disruption, reproductive health, skeletal muscle physiology and metabolic regulation. For my PhD, I'm investigating how prenatal environmental chemical mixtures exposures may affect skeletal muscle metabolic health in offspring intergenerationally. My research aims to improve our understanding of potential long-term health consequences of developmental exposure to complex chemical mixtures.
