Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Leah E. Latham's research focuses on neurotoxicity and its potential amelioration, investigating the effects of various substances on neural stem cells and primate models. Her work includes assessing the developmental effects of substances like fentanyl and ketamine on the neonatal brain, as well as the potential desflurane-induced neurotoxicity using nonhuman primate neural stem cell models. Latham also studies the neuroprotective effects of compounds such as carnitine and explores the impact of cannabidiol and its metabolites on human neural stem cells. In addition to neurotoxicology, her research extends to immunology, investigating the role of ICOS expression in the maintenance of germinal centers during Plasmodium yoelii infection in mice. She collaborates with researchers Fang Liu, Shuliang Liu, Tucker A. Patterson, and John Talpos, all from the National Center for Toxicological Research, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
