Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sandeep Kondakala's research investigates the toxicological effects of environmental contaminants, particularly pesticides, on animal models and cellular systems. His work has explored the impact of chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate insecticide, on cholinergic and non-cholinergic targets in mice, examining effects under normal and high-fat diet conditions. Kondakala has also studied the role of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in promoting hepatic steatosis and cardiovascular remodeling, with a focus on rage signaling pathways. His recent publications also extend to the epidemiology and microbiology of tattoo-associated infections and permanent makeup inks. Kondakala has a career h-index of 7, with 17 publications and 167 citations. He has collaborated extensively with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Seong‐Jae Kim, Ohgew Kweon, and Steven L. Foley, as well as Mark E. Hart at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
