Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Igor P. Pogribny's research focuses on molecular toxicology and the epigenetic mechanisms underlying various diseases, particularly cancer. His work investigates the impact of environmental and occupational chemical carcinogens on genetic material and gene expression, with a significant emphasis on liver diseases like hepatocellular carcinoma and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Pogribny utilizes animal models, including mice and rats, as well as model organisms like *Caenorhabditis elegans*, to assess the effects of chemical exposures and dietary interventions. His studies explore alterations in DNA methylation, gene expression, and telomerase activity, contributing to a deeper understanding of carcinogenesis and disease promotion. He has published extensively on these topics, with a substantial citation count and h-index, and is recognized as a highly cited researcher.

His research network includes several key collaborators from the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Volodymyr Tryndyak, Frederick A. Beland, Rose Willett, and Suresh K. Nagumalli, with whom he has co-authored numerous publications. Pogribny is also a member of the ARA Academy (ARA Fellow).
