Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nukhet Aykin-Burns studies the impact of environmental pollutants, specifically per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), on liver health and mitochondrial function. Her work investigates how these "forever chemicals" can disrupt cellular processes, potentially leading to conditions like hepatocellular carcinoma. Aykin-Burns also explores therapeutic interventions, such as the use of SS-31 peptide to mitigate radiation-induced cellular damage and the beneficial effects of indole derivatives in breast cancer treatment. Her research collaborations include work with C. Godwin, L. Evans, F. LoBianco, and Kimberly J. Krager at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
