Anita Patlolla

Professor
Jackson State University
USA

Biography

She received her BS and MS degrees in Genetics from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India, and a Ph.D in Environmental Science [Major concentration: Genetic Toxicology] from Jackson State University, USA. She has published several research papers and chapters in reputed international peer-reviewed scientific journals and books. She has presented her research findings in several National and International conferences in the form of lectures and posters. Her articles are widely cited by other researchers in the field. She served as a reviewer for peer review journals in toxicology including Environmental Toxicology, Toxicologic Pathology, Basic & Clinical Pharmacology Toxicology, Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes & Essential Fatty Acids, MidSouth Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, EPA-IRIS Program, Journal of Applied Toxicology, Mutation Research, Toxicological Sciences and Hepatotoxicity. She served as chair of the “Nanotoxicology” and “DNA repair and Genotoxicity”.She also has expertise in Genotoxicity Bioassay such as Chromosomal aberrations, Micronucleus Test and Comet assay etc. She is the first woman research faculty at Jackson State University ever to receive the prestigious independent funding from Air Force Research Laboratory/Air force Base (AFRL/AFB) in the area of Nanotoxicology.

Research Area

Dr. Patlolla’s main area of research is toxicity studies of nanostructures and heavy metals with biological systems, with an emphasis on elucidating the relationship between the physical and chemical properties (e.g. size, shape, surface chemistry, composition, and aggregation) of nanostructures or nanoparticles and heavy metals with induction of toxic biological response
