Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Leanna Delhey's research focuses on understanding the biological underpinnings of neurodevelopmental and metabolic disorders, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and childhood obesity. Her work investigates how factors such as mitochondrial function, redox balance, and epigenetic modifications contribute to disease development. Delhey has explored the metabolomic signatures associated with ASD and examined the relationship between mitochondrial morphology and respiratory chain uncoupling in affected individuals.

Further research by Delhey has delved into the metabolic and epigenetic consequences of obesity in early childhood. This includes investigating circulating microRNA levels in the early stages of insulin resistance and the effect of excess weight and insulin resistance on DNA methylation patterns in prepubertal children. She has also examined potential environmental influences, such as air pollution and temperature, on neurodevelopmental regressive events in ASD. Delhey's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 20, with 52 total publications and 1,872 citations. She has collaborated with researchers including Shannon Rose, Elisabet Børsheim, Robert R. Delongchamp, and Reid D. Landes, all affiliated with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
