Since its inception in 1990, Environmental Health Sciences Research Center (EHSRC) at the University of Iowa (U.I.)

The EHSRC is devoted to gaining new insights into rural exposures; pathways of host defense, lung injury and repair; nanotoxicology; and population health; and translating these insights to clinical medicine, public health practice and regulatory policy has advanced and translated research that addresses environmental health problems across the urban-rural continuum. Our early research was focused

Spatial transcriptomic profiling uncovers the molecular effects of the neurotoxicant polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the brains of adult mice - Molecular Psychiatry 02/06/2026

Check out this study led by EHSRC Associate Member Snehajyoti Chatterjee, with Director Hans-Joachim Lehmler as a coauthor.

Spatial transcriptomic profiling uncovers the molecular effects of the neurotoxicant polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the brains of adult mice - Molecular Psychiatry Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are highly stable synthetic organic compounds that are present in air, water, and soil. PCBs have been identified in post-mortem human brains, indicating a possible link between environmental factors and disease risk. Research has revealed an association between PCB....
