OverviewAI-generated summary

Leah E. Latham's research focuses on neurotoxicity and its potential amelioration, particularly in the context of neural stem cell models. She investigates the effects of various substances, including ketamine, fentanyl, phencyclidine (PCP), and desflurane, on neural development and function. Her work also explores the neuroprotective potential of compounds like carnitine and the impact of cannabidiol and its metabolites on human neural stem cells. Latham has established primate models for neurotoxicity testing, utilizing fetal monkey brains and nonhuman primate neural stem cells. She has published on these topics, with recent work appearing in 2025. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, with 11 total publications and 53 citations. Latham collaborates with several researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Shuliang Liu, Tucker A. Patterson, William Slikker, and John Talpos, with whom she shares multiple publications.
