OverviewAI-generated summary

Nadia I. Georgieva's research focuses on understanding the biological effects of chemical exposures, particularly in relation to 1,3-butadiene and its metabolites. Her work investigates the formation of hemoglobin adducts, which serve as biomarkers for exposure and potential genotoxicity. Georgieva has published on the sex-specific formation of diepoxybutane-derived hemoglobin adducts in workers exposed to 1,3-butadiene and has conducted studies in animal models (mice and rats) to analyze diepoxide-specific cyclic N-terminal globin adducts following inhalation exposure.

Her federally funded work, supported by a $719,050 grant from the NIH/National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, aims to understand the origins of the mutational landscape in cancer. This aligns with her broader interest in the mechanisms by which environmental exposures can contribute to health outcomes. Georgieva has a published h-index of 11 and has authored 28 publications with 408 total citations. She collaborates with Gunnar Boysen at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she has co-authored five publications.
