OverviewAI-generated summary

Camila Silva's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying toxicant exposure and physiological responses in biological systems. Her work has explored the effects of inorganic arsenic on neuronal development and gene expression in zebrafish, identifying pathways involved in apoptosis and motor neuron development. Silva has also examined the role of the thyroid axis in high-temperature-induced sex reversal, linking it to stress response activation. Her research extends to metabolic regulation, including the influence of hepatic nutrient and hormone signaling on liver zonation and the protective effects of dietary flavonoids, which require an intact gut microbiome. Additionally, Silva has contributed to public health research by analyzing SARS-CoV-2 genome dynamics and variants in wastewater from metropolitan areas in Arkansas. She has published 53 papers with 379 citations and an h-index of 13, and collaborates with researchers from the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Volodymyr Tryndyak, Luísa Camacho, Nathan C. Twaddle, and Jyotshnabala Kanungo.
