Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Camila Silva's research investigates the biological impacts of environmental factors, with a recent focus on the effects of inorganic arsenic on zebrafish development. Her work has explored how arsenic exposure alters specific neuronal pathways, including dopaminergic and motor neurons, and has identified potential mechanisms of arsenic-induced apoptosis in zebrafish through gene expression analyses. Silva also studies the role of the thyroid axis in temperature-induced male sex reversal, linking it to the stress response. Additionally, her research has examined the gut microbiome's role in metabolic health, specifically how the flavonoid 7,8-dihydroxyflavone requires an intact microbiome for its protective effects. She has also contributed to studies on SARS-CoV-2 detection in wastewater, analyzing temporal dynamics and variants of concern. Silva has published 53 papers, with 382 citations, and holds an h-index of 13. She collaborates with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Volodymyr Tryndyak, Luísa Camacho, Nathan C. Twaddle, and Jyotshnabala Kanungo.
