A recent study conducted by CURES member Dr. Marianna Sadagurski's lab has been highlighted as a Paper of the Month by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) of the National Institutes of Health. The research, published in Chemosphere in 2023, reveals that early-life benzene exposure could potentially exert long-lasting impacts on brain development and enhance vulnerability to metabolic disorders in adulthood. The paper was selected as an Extramural Paper of the Month for the NIEHS Environmental Factor Newsletter. In addition, it was featured in the Superfund Research Program (SRP) Research Brief for August 2023. More information can be found at:
