I am a PhD student funded by UKRI-BBSRC FoodBioSystems Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) at the University of Surrey. I am working on examining the effects of nano-plastics (NPs) on animals, specifically, the process through which NPs move from the environment into animals and their impact on the nervous system. My research uses zebrafish as a model organism to investigate the translocation of NPs, evaluate their effects on the CNS, and determine the impact of long-term dietary exposure on neurotoxicity, behavior, and cognition.
