Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nukhet Aykin-Burns's research focuses on understanding the physiological impacts of environmental contaminants and exploring trends within academic medicine. She has investigated the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as 'forever chemicals,' on liver function and mitochondrial health. Her work has also examined the representation of women in academic interventional radiology. Aykin-Burns collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including C. Godwin, L. Evans, and Kimberly J. Krager, as well as F. LoBianco at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her publication record includes two articles, with a total of 12 citations and an h-index of 1.
