Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sangeeta Khare's research focuses on the toxicological effects of various substances and materials on the gastrointestinal system, with a particular emphasis on the gut microbiome and intestinal epithelial cells. Her work has investigated the impact of co-exposures, such as to pesticides and nanoparticles, on gene expression related to cell junctions and the translocation of substances across the intestinal barrier. Khare has also examined the effects of chronic exposure to antibiotics, like tetracycline, on human intestinal microbiota using in vitro bioreactor models.

Further research by Khare explores the influence of different routes of exposure to compounds like arsenic on immune responses and gut permeability. She has developed preclinical in vitro models to assess changes in intestinal epithelial cell permeability and cytotoxicity under conditions mimicking oral or intravenous administration. Her publications also touch upon the broader relevance of gut microbiome research in food safety assessments and the conformational changes of viral proteins, such as the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.
