معرفی
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Cansu AKBULUT is affiliated with the Department of Biology at the Faculty of Science, Sakarya University. Her research focuses on environmental toxicology, particularly investigating the histopathological effects of chemical contaminants (e.g., pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals) on aquatic organisms, primarily using zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model. She teaches courses such as Microbiology, Cancer Biology, and Ecotoxicology. Her work emphasizes tissue-level impacts of pollutants on organs like the liver, gills, and gonads, with attention to reproductive and developmental toxicity.
Recent studies highlight her exploration of triclosan, imidacloprid, and tribenuron-methyl exposure effects, as well as nanoparticle toxicity. She has published extensively on oxidative stress mechanisms, enzyme activity changes, and histological disruptions in zebrafish exposed to environmental toxins. Her research contributes to understanding chemical-induced pathological changes in aquatic ecosystems.
No academic awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided texts. She advises students in experimental and histological analyses but no formal student names are recorded here. Her lab work involves microscopic evaluations and toxicological assays, focusing on zebrafish as a versatile model organism for environmental health studies.
