Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Xiaobo He's research focuses on the toxicological evaluation of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and other chemical compounds. He investigates the mechanisms by which these substances can cause DNA damage and contribute to carcinogenesis. His work includes the identification of reactive metabolites, such as 7-glutathione pyrrole adduct and 7-cysteine-pyrrole conjugate, formed from pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and examines their role in potential liver tumor initiation. He also studies the genotoxicity of other compounds, including luteolin and nitrosamine impurities, often utilizing human cell lines engineered to express specific cytochrome P450 enzymes. His research has extended to evaluating DNA damage and repair pathway dysregulation in populations exposed to environmental contaminants like persistent organic pollutants in electronic waste. He has also investigated gene expression changes associated with occupational exposures, such as benzene in workers. He has published 49 papers, with an h-index of 16 and 593 citations, and collaborates with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research.
