California State University, Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation received a $400,398 Project Grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) awarded April 7, 2026, with completion scheduled for April 7, 2029. The grant supports research investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which bisphenol A (BPA) disrupts neurodevelopment, with particular relevance to understanding neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder. The research employs complementary animal models—both mice and zebrafish—to elucidate toxin-related pathophysiology and determine the effects of BPA exposure at behavioral and synaptic levels. The project deliverables include mechanistic studies examining how in utero BPA exposure disrupts neural development through comparative model systems. Zebrafish models provide unique advantages for high-throughput behavioral assays and real-time visualization of aberrant neural circuits due to their external, rapid development and translucent properties, while murine models offer evolutionary similarity to humans. The research translates fundamental findings regarding endocrine-disrupting chemical effects on development into knowledge that informs therapeutic development strategies and public health decision-making regarding common environmental toxin exposures.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
