Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Azra Dad is a postdoctoral fellow at the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) through the Research Participation Program/ORISE. Her research focuses on genotoxicity assessment, particularly investigating the effects of chemical mutagens in animal models. Dad has published work examining the dose-response relationship of ethyl methanesulfonate-induced genotoxicity across different life stages and tissues in rats. Her research also explores background mutation frequencies in cell lines such as TK6 and L5178Y, with implications for error-corrected sequencing.

Further contributions include studies on *Pig-a* gene mutations in the bone marrow granulocytes of rats treated with procarbazine. Her scholarly output includes 19 publications with 327 citations and an h-index of 10. Dad collaborates with researchers at NCTR, including Javier R. Revollo, Robert H. Heflich, and Mason G. Pearce, with whom she shares multiple publications.
