Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Laura P. James' research focuses on understanding and mitigating the impacts of various health conditions, with a particular emphasis on liver injury and infectious diseases. She has investigated the short-term safety of repeated acetaminophen use in patients with compensated cirrhosis and explored how exogenous phosphatidic acid can reduce acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice. Her work also extends to the study of hepatic metabolism, examining the roles of pyruvate and alanine in maintaining antioxidant capacity and resistance to oxidative insult.

In the realm of infectious diseases, James has contributed to research on SARS-CoV-2, including studies on pediatric seroprevalence in Arkansas and the genomic epidemiology of the virus in a UK university setting. Her research portfolio also includes reviews of photovoice projects with youth and experiences of pregnant mothers during the COVID-19 lockdown. She serves as Director of the Translational Research Institute at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and has a substantial publication record, evidenced by her h-index of 52 and over 10,000 citations. Her collaborative network includes Joshua L. Kennedy, Jessica Snowden, Jeffery H. Moran, and Karl W. Boehme, with whom she shares multiple publications.
