Risk e Learning Web seminar: PAH and PCB Toxicity and Adaptation - Lessons Learned from Chronically Exposed Wild Populations.
Location: ONLINE: This seminar is the third in the “Ecological Risk: New Tools and Approaches” ReL Series.
This seminar will feature Dr. Mark E. Hahn of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Dr. Richard T. Di Giulio, Director of Duke University's Superfund Center and its Integrated Toxicology Program. Dr. Hahn will describe research to understand the role of aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AHRs) and AHR variants in the mechanism of resistance to PCBs that has evolved in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) inhabiting the New Bedford Harbor (MA) superfund site. Other studies that address the role of AHRs as biomarkers of susceptibility and resistance will be discussed. Dr. Di Giulio will describe studies addressing mechanisms underlying the marked resistance to PAH toxicity displayed by a population of Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) inhabiting a PAH contaminated estuary adjacent to the Atlantic Woods Industries Superfund site in Virginia. These studies subsequently motivated additional studies that will be described that examined the unanticipated phenomenon of synergisitc toxicity between certain PAHs. These latter studies included both the killifish and the zebrafish as models. More information... - November 20, 2009 at 1:15pm

Fall Symposium: Developmental High Through-put Screening with Biologic Meaning: Going Somewhere Fast
Location: Searle Center Lecture Hall, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
High through-put screens are necessary to efficiently gain toxic risk information concerning large numbers of relatively uncharacterized compounds and chemical mixtures to which humans are exposed. However, it is important to have the screens not only be time efficient but also be sensitive to biologic processes underlying functional toxic consequences in humans. Toxicology is not just a study of toxicants, but rather the study of the interactions between toxicants and biology. High through-put screens can be developed to assay chemical actions on specific vulnerable biological processes underlying functional impairment by toxicant exposure. These processes can be discovered by in vivo studies. Thus, complementary biological discovery and chemical screening can provide a rapid suite of assays that provide relevant information for protecting human health from risky toxic exposure. Developmental toxicity is especially complex and especially in need of the interactive approach of in vivo biological characterization using a spectrum of model organisms to study the developmental process and identify key biologic targets. Success with the identification of thyroid and estrogen hormone effects on development in animal models has led to high through-put screens for chemical actions on these receptors. As more key vulnerable biological processes are discovered in the organismal studies these also can be incorporated into the high through-put screens. This symposium will include the views of progress to date and visions of future directions in the development of targeted high through-put screens. More information... - October 19, 2007 at 12:00pm
Neurologic dysfunction and pesticide exposure: The Agricultural Health Study - Freya Kamel, Ph.D. NIEHS
Location: Searle Center Lecture Hall
Dr. Kamel participated in work on the Agricultural Health Study (AHS), a large cohort study of licensed pesticide applicators and their spouses in Iowa and North Carolina. Using data from the AHS, Kamel found that use of fungicides and organochlorine insecticides was associated with increased risk of retinal degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in adults (Kamel et al., 2000). Another analysis found that prevalence of neurologic symptoms was related to moderate levels of exposure to organophosphate and organochlorine insecticides and fumigants (Kamel et al., 2005).

Duke Integrated Toxicology and Environmental Health Program's FALL SYMPOSIUM: Toxicant-Induced Alterations of Sexual Differentiation
Location: Searle Center Lecture Hall, Duke University
Developmental exposure to endocrine disruptors and other toxicants can diminish the normal sex differences in a wide range of structures and functions. It has long been known that estrogenic substances can feminize males in terms of primary and secondary sex organs. Androgenic exposure can masculinize females. Other toxicant exposures can alter sex ratios and produce varying degrees of intersexual animals. Toxicant-induced attenuations of normal sex differences are also seen in neurobehavioral function. There are normal sex differences in not only sexual behavior but also other realms such as cognitive function. Toxicant-induced alterations of normal sexual differentiation during development can have lifelong consequences on reproductive function as bell as neurobehavioral function.
