Title: Neurotoxicant Effects on Cell Cycle Regulation of Neurogenesis
Investigators: DiCicco-Bloom, Emanuel
Institution: University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
EPA Project Officer: Hahn, Intaek
Project Period: November 1, 2001 through October 31, 2006
RFA: Centers for Children's Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research (2001) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Children's Health , Human Health

Objective:

The objective of this research project is to investigate the hypothesis that neurotoxic metals and teratogens disrupt neurogenesis in developing forebrain and hindbrain systems in vitro and in vivo, acting to inhibit proliferation by altering mitogenic growth factor receptors and cell cycle and signaling pathways.
