Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mugimane G. Manjanatha leads a research group focused on understanding genotoxicity and its mechanisms. His work investigates how various agents, including nanomaterials and pharmaceutical compounds, can induce DNA damage. Manjanatha has published extensively on methodologies for assessing genotoxicity, such as the comet assay, and has adapted these techniques for specific applications, including the evaluation of nanomaterials in vivo.

His research also explores the impact of external factors on DNA repair and damage. This includes studies on the effects of circadian dysregulation, such as night shift work, on DNA repair genes and overall DNA damage levels in humans. Manjanatha collaborates with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Nan Mei, Xiaoqing Guo, Yuan Le, and Ji‐Eun Seo, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.

Manjanatha's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 28, with 99 total publications and 2,575 total citations. He is recognized as a high-impact researcher due to his high citation count. His recent work also includes investigations into the genotoxicity of specific compounds like black cohosh extract and hydroxychloroquine, as well as the biodistribution and toxic potential of silver nanoparticles in animal models.
