Research Project

Humans are the primary producers and consumers of micro (nano) sized plastics (MNPs) and are far more exposed to the MNPs than any other animals. Since 2017, Gopinath is conducting studies on the realistic exposure and internalization of plastic particles into human system and assessed the hazardous health effects in humans. His remarkable findings include, oxidative stress mediated senescence and autophagic effects in keratinocytes, ER stress mediated cell-specific accumulation of lipid droplets in macrophages and foam cell formation, and genotoxic effect in blood cells. Currently, he is working across discipline to develop techniques for detection and quantification of MNPs in blood, food and environmental matrixes explore.
