Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

John Talpos' research focuses on the neurotoxicological effects of various agents and conditions, particularly in nonhuman primate and rodent models. His work investigates the potential for substances like SARS-CoV-2, ketamine, and desflurane to impact the central nervous system. Talpos has explored the use of novel methods, including neural stem cell models derived from fetal monkey brains, to assess developmental neurotoxicity and screen for potential adverse effects.

His research also encompasses the evaluation of pharmacological agents, such as methylphenidate, examining its long-term effects and discontinuation outcomes in nonhuman primates using microPET/CT imaging to assess neurochemical changes. Furthermore, Talpos has contributed to genotoxicity evaluations, utilizing primary hepatocytes from rhesus macaques. He leads a research group and has a publication record that includes 51 papers, with a total of 1,624 citations and an h-index of 21. His collaborations include multiple shared publications with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, such as William Slikker, Leah E. Latham, Shuliang Liu, and Merle G. Paule.
