Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lana Elkins' research focuses on the mechanisms of DNA damage and mutagenesis, particularly in the context of airway tissues. Her work has investigated the effects of repeated exposure to ethyl methanesulfonate, a chemical mutagen, on organotypic airway cultures. This research examined how such exposures lead to the accumulation of somatic cell mutations. Elkins has also contributed to studies on sex-specific pathology in K18-hACE2 transgenic mice infected with different SARS-CoV-2 variants, exploring disease progression and differences between sexes.

Her scholarly output includes one publication with a total of four citations, and her h-index is 1. Elkins collaborates with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Nan Mei, Barbara L. Parsons, Kelly L. Harris, and Xilin Li, with whom she shares at least one publication.
