Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Erik D. Pollock's research utilizes stable isotope methodologies to investigate diverse biological and environmental processes. His work has explored the application of stable isotopes in identifying physiological states, such as starvation in reptiles. A significant portion of his research focuses on the use of deuterium-reinforced polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases. This includes studies investigating their impact on lipid peroxidation and amyloid β-peptide levels in Alzheimer's disease models, as well as their effects on nigrostriatal degeneration in Parkinson's disease models and protection against atherosclerosis.

Pollock's research also extends to agricultural applications, examining the effects of nutrients like 25-hydroxycholecalciferol on broiler breast meat yield through metabolic pathways. Furthermore, his work has involved the characterization of environmental components, such as the water-soluble organic carbon in atmospheric aerosols, and the fate of nitrates in karst systems using isotopic analysis and numerical modeling. He has contributed to 81 publications, accumulating 1,177 citations with an h-index of 20. Pollock has also served as a Co-PI on a National Science Foundation grant for the acquisition of a multicollector ICP-MS, an instrument supporting research across geology, archeology, and paleobiology.
