Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Pavani Gonnabathula's research focuses on the application of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models and New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for chemical risk assessment across different life stages. Her work investigates how emerging contaminants, such as trace levels of pesticides, can perturb biomolecules in various organs, examining the role of specific biological pathways like peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα). Gonnabathula has explored the utility of PBPK models in forensic science and for estimating drug metabolism and related ADME processes in specific populations. She has also examined the replacement of traditional models with microfluidic devices for pharmacokinetic studies during pregnancy and the application of PBPK models in acute chemical incidents. Her research has been published in collaboration with colleagues from the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Kiara Fairman, Me-Kyoung Choi, Miaohui Li, and Suresh K. Nagumalli. Gonnabathula's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, 12 total publications, and 31 total citations.
