UT Arlington biochemist to study endocrine disrupting chemicals
ARLINGTON - The National Institutes of Health has awarded a three-year, $444,000 grant to a UT Arlington researcher looking for chemicals in the environment that could interfere with normal hormone functions, causing problems with reproduction, behavior and development and fueling cancer growth. Subhrangsu Mandal, an assistant professor in The University of Texas at Arlington's College of Science’s chemistry and biochemistry department, will use the NIH money to test items such as commonly used growth hormones, water from various sources and milk for endocrine disrupting chemicals.
