Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Vijayalakshmi Sridharan's research investigates the biological effects of radiation, with a particular focus on cardiac function and metabolic alterations. Her work examines how different types of radiation, including simulated galactic cosmic radiation and low-dose oxygen ions, impact the structure and function of the mouse heart. Sridharan also studies the role of specific biological pathways, such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), in radiation-induced heart disease and explores the potential protective effects of compounds like Dantrolene against treatment-induced lymphostasis.
Her publications also delve into sex-dependent effects of genetic factors and radiation exposure on various tissues, including the heart, small intestine, and skin. Sridharan utilizes metabolomics to predict radiation-induced cardiac dysfunction and to track longitudinal metabolic changes in response to radiation. Her research network includes collaborators at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, such as Marjan Boerma, Martin Hauer-Jensen, Benjamin J. Lieblong, and Ashley Nemec-Bakk, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
Sridharan holds a high-impact researcher designation, evidenced by her h-index of 27, 2,454 total citations, and 99 total publications. Her recent activity indicates ongoing contributions to her field.
