Dr Gisha Sivan

I am a researcher specializing in zebrafish developmental biology, with a focus on understanding how environmental pollutants influence early life stages. My work uses zebrafish as a model to study embryogenesis, organ development, and molecular pathways affected by micronanoplastics. I investigate developmental toxicity, and transgenerational effects to uncover how early exposures impact long-term health. By integrating in vivo zebrafish models with complementary cellular approaches, I aim to elucidate mechanisms underlying developmental disruption. My research contributes to environmental risk assessment and advances knowledge on how emerging contaminants affect vertebrate development and sustainability.
