Wayne State University has received a $3,082,404 grant from the National Institutes of Health to fund research on the effects of environmental factors on male fertility. Led by Richard Pilsner and Susan Sumner, the study will focus on identifying biomarkers in seminal plasma, specifically looking at the impact of phthalates, a common environmental toxin. The goal is to improve reproductive outcomes and address male infertility through interventions based on metabolomic patterns. This research aims to advance understanding of how environmental exposures can affect reproductive health and provide valuable insights for clinical assessments and interventions in the future.
