Subham Dasgupta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University. He specializes in developmental toxicology, using zebrafish as a model to study how environmental chemicals disrupt developmental processes. His research focuses on mechanisms underlying chemical-induced adverse effects, including maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), epigenetic regulation, neurodevelopment, and circadian rhythm disruption. Key projects involve flame retardants, PFAS, and other environmental contaminants.
