OverviewAI-generated summary
Nan Mei's research focuses on evaluating the genotoxicity and mutagenicity of various chemical compounds, particularly in the context of environmental pollution and potential human health impacts. Her work often involves in vitro assays using human cell lines, such as TK6 cells, and bacterial systems like the Ames test, to assess DNA damage and mutation potential. She also investigates the role of metabolic enzymes, specifically cytochrome P450s (CYPs), in modulating the toxicity of these substances.
Her recent publications address the genotoxicity of compounds like luteolin and N-nitrosamines, examining how factors such as CYP expression influence these effects. Mei has also studied the sources and levels of heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils and the long-term effects of different fertilization practices on soil microbial communities. These investigations contribute to understanding environmental exposures and their biological consequences.
Mei collaborates with several researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Robert H. Heflich, Yuan Le, Ji-Eun Seo, and Xilin Li, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Her scholarly output is substantial, with 188 total publications and an h-index of 42, indicating a significant body of work recognized for its impact, as evidenced by her designation as a highly cited researcher.
