PFOA exposure amplifies normal developmental gene expression programs in the African Killifish, Nothobranchius furzeri

Zainab Afzal, Charles Hatcher, Vandana Veershetty, Evan E Pittman, Deepak Kumar

This study shows PFOA exposure amplifies normal developmental gene expression programs in African killifish, with greater effects post-hatching than during embryonic stages.

Environmental PFOA Exposure Alters Early Developmental Programming during the Maternal Zygotic Transition

Zainab Afzal, Vandana Veershetty, Evan E Pittman, Charles Hatcher, Deepak Kumar

This study shows that PFAS exposure during the maternal-to-zygotic transition disrupts gene regulatory networks and alters developmental outcomes in zebrafish.

Short-chain PFAS exposure alters embryonic development and behavior in zebrafish

Zainab Afzal, Evan E Pittman, Vandana Veershetty, Charles Hatcher, Morgan Bailey, Deepak Kumar

This study shows that early-life TFA exposure in zebrafish embryos alters development and increases anxiety-like behaviors, with associated proteomic changes.

Early exposure to PFAS disrupts neuro-muscular development in zebrafish embryos

Zainab Afzal, Brian N. Papas, Vandana Veershetty, Evan E Pittman, Charles Hatcher, Jian‐Liang Li, Warren Casey, Deepak Kumar

This study investigates how PFOA exposure disrupts neuro-muscular development in zebrafish embryos, revealing molecular perturbations linked to behavioral changes.
