Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Christa Corley's research investigates the physiological and cognitive impacts of various medical treatments, particularly chemotherapy and irradiation, in preclinical models. Her work has explored the effects of 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin chemotherapy and fractionated proton irradiation on cognitive function in mice, examining memory and behavior. Corley has also studied the implications of cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil chemotherapy on hippocampal cognition and the gut microbiome, as well as the potential of tocotrienols as an anti-breast cancer agent. Additionally, her research has addressed nicotine's role as an immunosuppressant with implications for women's health. She has published 19 works, with 124 citations, and maintains collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Antiño R. Allen, Pilar Simmons, Michael S. Robeson, and Sangam Kandel.
