Dr. Xiao recently received a new 5-year/$3 million R01 grant from NIEHS to study the ovarian disrupting effects of forever chemical PFAS and mixtures. PFAS have been extensively used in numerous consumer and industrial products and extremely hard to be metabolize. PFAS have been shown to cause endocrine disrupting effects but its female reproductive impacts are still poorly understood. This grant in through the collaborations with Dr. Qiang Zhang (MPI) from Emory University and Drs. Brian Buckley, Nataki Douglas, and Grace Guo from Rutgers University.
