Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sangeeta Khare is a research microbiologist at the National Center for Toxicological Research. Her work focuses on the interactions between ingested substances, the gastrointestinal microbiome, and host immune responses. Khare has investigated the effects of silver nanoparticles and nanocellulose on the intestinal microbiota and gut-associated immune responses in rat models. She has also studied the role of bacterial effector proteins in host-specific chemokine profiles during Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium infections.

Her research has explored the detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in bovine milk and feces using PCR-based methods. Khare has also contributed to understanding the invasion mechanisms of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium in epithelial cells and the expression of fimbrial operons. Her work involves both in vivo and in vitro models, including human gut epithelium models, to assess the impact of nanoparticles on intestinal permeability. Khare's research is supported by significant publication and citation metrics, with an h-index of 28 and over 8,800 citations across 119 publications.
