Through a federal contract with the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Florida Atlantic University conducted genetic sampling of harbor seals.
As a subawardee under grants from East Carolina University, Florida Atlantic University conducted biomedical research on mice models related to autism spectrum disorder and oxidative stress. This involved behavioral assessments, sleep studies, and brain dissections to analyze neurodevelopmental defects from prenatal exposure to substances linked to autism. The research quantifies antioxidant capacity and reactive oxygen species resulting from the exposures.
Florida Atlantic University also serves as a subawardee conducting biomedical research on preventing developmental disorders under additional grants from East Carolina University. The research focuses on testing whether sulforaphane can prevent autism-like behaviors induced by valproic acid. It involves dosing and exposing pregnant mice and their offspring to sulforaphane and valproic acid at varying levels, and assessing sociability, restricted interests, repetitive tendencies, and other autism-relevant behavioral outcomes in the mouse models.
