Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Taylor McElroy's research investigates the physiological and cognitive impacts of various treatments and environmental factors, with a particular focus on sex differences and the role of mitochondria. McElroy has studied the effects of chemotherapeutic agents such as cyclophosphamide, docetaxel, and doxorubicin on cognitive function and physiological changes, examining implications of the gut microbiome and depressive-like behavior. Further work has explored the neuroprotective potential of piperlongumine against chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment and the effects of simulated galactic cosmic rays on cognitive performance in mice. Research also extends to comparative toxicities of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in model organisms and the role of mitochondria in neuronal recovery after injury. Studies have also addressed health disparities related to frailty in older adults and iron homeostasis.
