Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Prita Persaud"
- Prita Persaud's research includes the development of a bioluminescent Salmonella reverse mutation assay, which provides a high-throughput method for detecting mutagenicity in small molecules by employing genetically engineered bacterial strains for effective screening.
- In the field of molecular biology, Persaud explores the mechanisms of the transcription factor TonEBP/OREBP, demonstrating its key role in cellular responses to hypertonic stress and its direct relationship with extracellular sodium chloride concentrations, affecting gene transcription involved in renal protection.
- Additionally, her work on glucocorticoid receptor ligands highlights the synthesis of halogen-substituted derivatives aimed at enhancing imaging agents for potential applications in nuclear medicine, particularly for studying neurodegenerative disorders linked to glucocorticoid dysregulation.
