Due to the superior mechanical, physical and chemical properties, graphene and its derivatives are appealing to the scientists conducting research in a variety of domains. The potential impacts resulting from the use of graphene, and generally its oxidised derivatives in the biological interactions, have gained a wide span of attention from the scientific community.

Numerous researchers have expressed concern about the environmental and health effects of the use of graphene-derived materials in recent years. One of the most crucial parts is the reproductive toxicity of graphene because it not only affects the individual but has long-lasting hazardous effects which will harm the future generations also. Hence, the usage of these materials in reproductive studies have raised concerns due to the toxic effects which could even be passed on to succeeding generations.

In today’s podcast, our postdoctoral researcher, Dr Sreelakshmi Krishnakumar briefs about her research in the field of reproductive and developmental biology at Amrita School of Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine (#ASNSMM). Her research largely concentrated on how germ cells, which transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, are affected by nanoparticles generated from graphene. Tune into today’s research podcast from ASNSMM!
