OverviewAI-generated summary

Susan M. Burks' research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of neurodegeneration and the identification of biomarkers for neurotoxicity. Her work has investigated the role of autophagy and protein aggregation in dopaminergic neuron loss, utilizing primary human neuronal models. Burks has also explored the potential for SARS-CoV-2 to infect the central nervous system, examining pathways through the olfactory bulb and the blood-brain barrier. Her research has employed proteomic approaches to identify circulating biomarkers indicative of central nervous system toxicity in rodent models. Burks has a h-index of 6, with 10 publications and 311 citations. She collaborates with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including John Talpos and Manuel Alejandro Ramirez-Lee.
