Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Gonçalo Gamboa da Costa's research focuses on the toxicological evaluation of various substances and the development of preclinical models for disease states. His work has investigated the effects of compounds such as high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycols and brominated vegetable oil in Sprague Dawley rats, as well as the renal toxicity of melamine and cyanuric acid, considering the influence of urinary pH. He has also explored the impact of coadministering black cohosh extract and risedronate on bone health in an ovariectomized rat model.

In addition to direct toxicological studies, Dr. Gamboa da Costa has contributed to the development and application of preclinical models. This includes work on diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in Collaborative Cross mice, examining lipidomic profiles of hepatic esterified fatty acid composition. He has also been involved in creating a preclinical model of severe nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-like liver injury through chronic administration of a high-fat and high-sucrose diet in mice. His research also touches upon considerations for animal microphysiological systems and the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) in drug development, as noted in a 2025 publication.

With an h-index of 31 and over 2,760 citations from 98 publications, Dr. Gamboa da Costa is recognized as a highly cited researcher. He leads a research group and collaborates with several colleagues at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Frederick A. Beland, Michelle M. Vanlandingham, Kellie A. Woodling, and Volodymyr Tryndyak.
