PharmaTox Master's student: Kristiane Fosskaug

Master's student Kristiane Fosskaug defended her thesis on June 1st with the title “Kan prenatal paracetamoleksponering påvirke nevroutviklingen? In Vivo og in vitro studier i kyllingembryo og PC12-celler for vurdering av effekter på genetiske regulatorer, nevronale utviklingsmarkører og lillehjernens morfologi".

Her supervisors were Ragnhild Paulsen, Lars Austdal and Sigrid Bjørnstad. The study was done in collaboration with Robert Lyle's and Geir Kjetil's research groups. Kristiane's main findings was few alterations in morphology and protein expression, but it seems like different miRNAs are sensitive markers for influencing medications in the brain. An interesting opportunity would be to search for the same miRNAs in the blood. Congratulations!
