Aaron B. Bowman studies how environmental toxicants, especially the metal manganese and also methylmercury and acrolein, affect the nervous system and contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. His lab uses model systems including human stem-cell-derived neurons, C. elegans (a small roundworm), and mouse cell lines to examine mechanisms like oxidative stress, epigenetic changes, and gene regulatory networks. This work aims to clarify how chronic, low-level exposure to environmental chemicals can produce delayed or lasting effects on brain health.

Publication output has declined somewhat from a peak around 2020-2021 (around 21-22 papers/year) to a steadier lower rate of about 9-11 papers/year in the last few years.
