Overview

Gail S. Prins is affiliated with the University of Illinois at Chicago in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Medicine and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with a significant focus on prostate cancer and related biomedical topics.

The scientist has contributed extensively to molecular biology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, health toxicology and mutagenesis, reproductive medicine, and environmental chemistry. Their work addresses a variety of topics including prostate cancer treatment and research, the effects and risks of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research, hormonal and reproductive studies, sexual differentiation and disorders, as well as sperm and testicular function and broader reproductive biology and fertility.

Throughout their career, Prins has published numerous papers in well-known venues. Frequent publication outlets include:

  • The Prostate
  • Environmental Health Perspectives
  • Andrology
  • Cell and Tissue Research
  • Toxicology

Some of their recent works include the following papers:

  • "Toward a Mechanistic Understanding of Poly- and Perfluoroalkylated Substances and Cancer," 2022, published in Cancers
  • "Data integration, analysis, and interpretation of eight academic CLARITY-BPA studies," 2020, published in Reproductive Toxicology
  • "Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Exposure Combined with High-Fat Diet Supports Prostate Cancer Progression," 2021, published in Nutrients
  • "Effects of Inorganic Arsenic on Human Prostate Stem-Progenitor Cell Transformation, Autophagic Flux Blockade, and NRF2 Pathway Activation," 2020, published in Environmental Health Perspectives
  • "The Conflict between Regulatory Agencies over the 20,000-Fold Lowering of the Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI) for Bisphenol A (BPA) by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)," 2024, published in Environmental Health Perspectives

Prins frequently collaborates with several coauthors. Notable frequent collaborators include:

  • Donald J. Vander Griend
  • Samuel R. Denmeade
  • Tamara L. Lotan
  • Shawn E. Lupold
  • Gerald P. Murphy

Their research contributions are centered on interdisciplinary approaches integrating environmental health, toxicology, and reproductive medicine, contributing important insights into the molecular mechanisms of prostate cancer and the impact of environmental toxicants and endocrine disruptors on human health.
