Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Camila Silva's research focuses on understanding the toxicological effects of environmental contaminants and biological mechanisms underlying disease. Her work has investigated the impact of inorganic arsenic on neuronal development in zebrafish, revealing alterations in dopaminergic and motor neurons and identifying the Sonic hedgehog pathway as a potential mediator. Silva has also explored the role of the thyroid axis and stress response in temperature-induced sex reversal in males. Her recent publications include studies on the temporal dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, the metabolic role of the gut microbiome, and the signaling pathways involved in liver zonation. Silva has authored 54 publications with 396 citations and 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 Jyotshna Kanungo.
