Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Christa L. Corley's research focuses on understanding the physiological and cognitive effects of various medical treatments, particularly in the context of cancer therapy and substance use disorders. She investigates the role of the gut microbiome in mediating treatment outcomes, including depressive-like behaviors and cognitive impairment. Her work explores how chemotherapy agents like cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil impact cognitive function and inflammation, utilizing bibliometric analysis to identify trends and implications. Corley also examines the potential of tocotrienols as an anti-breast cancer agent and studies the effects of cranial irradiation on juvenile social memory. Her research utilizes preclinical models and translational approaches to advance treatment options for substance use disorders and to understand the complex interplay of biological factors in disease and treatment responses. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 8 with 138 total citations across 20 publications.
