Episode 10: Analyzing PFAS and Androgens through HPLC and Radiochromatography

Dive into the world of environmental toxicology with Andrea Andress Huacachino, a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. In this fascinating interview, Andrea discusses her groundbreaking research on PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and their impact on androgen regulation. Learn about: - The novel finding of PFOA's effect on pre-receptor androgen regulation - Innovative use of radio chromatography in hormone analysis - Challenges in developing HPLC methods for androgen separation - The broader implications of androgen dysregulation on human health Discover how environmental pollutants affect hormones in all humans and why this research matters for everyone. Perfect for science enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of chemistry and human health. #EnvironmentalToxicology #PFAS #Androgens #ChemistryResearch #ScienceInterview
