معرفی
Paula Pierozan is a researcher at Stockholm University's Department of Environmental Science, specializing in environmental toxicology and epigenetic mechanisms. With a PhD in biochemistry from Brazil's Federal University of Porto Alegre, she has dedicated her career to investigating effects of environmental pollutants like phthalates and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on cellular processes.
- Current focus on neurotoxicology and paternal epigenetic inheritance
- Department of Environmental Science affiliation
- Active in teaching Toxicology for Environmental Scientists (MI7015) and Research Trends in Toxicology (MI8016)
Her research spans endocrine disruption, reproductive toxicology, and neurodevelopmental vulnerability, with particular emphasis on environmental pollutants' impact on testicular function, immune regulation, and epigenetic modifications. Recent work demonstrates application of 3D testicular models and high-content screening for assessing chemical toxicity at low concentrations.
Key findings include mitochondrial membrane potential disruption in aquatic organisms, epigenetic alterations in breast cancer models, and developmental neurotoxicity patterns in neural stem cells. Her publications span journals like Archives of Toxicology, Environment International, and Cell Death and Disease.
