Environmental Health Sciences, Environmental Toxicology Track Doctoral Student, Kelli Malott, and her advisor, Professor Ulrike Luderer, co-authored a review paper discussing the effects of toxic chemicals and ionizing radiation on oocyte mitochondria. This is important because all of the mitochondria in offspring are derived from mitochondria in the oocyte. The review was published in Biology of Reproduction:
