Hamner Scientists Receive Multiple Awards at The Society of Toxicology 48th Annual Meeting & ToxExpo
Summary
These studies demonstrate that high throughput tools can allow regulators to make better decisions on the safety of chemicals by providing low dose effects data that more closely resemble exposures seen in the real world.The site also includes an Accelerator, which houses emerging companies and provides opportunities to develop collaborative research and educational programs with academia, industry, and government.Dr. Thomas uses high throughput methodologies to more quickly obtain detailed information about how chemicals cause toxicity in the body and may lead to the reduced use of animals in testing.Jingqi Fu, Hamner Predoctoral Fellow, received the Carl C. Smith Award for Meritorious Research sponsored by the Mechanisms Specialty Section.Ultimately, this work may advance preventive measures and treatment strategies for arsenic or other environmentally -induced diabetes.Two publications by Hamner scientists received Best Paper 2009 awards by the Risk Assessment Specialty Section.These studies demonstrate that high throughput tools can allow regulators to make better decisions on the safety of chemicals by providing low dose effects data that more closely resemble exposures seen in the real world.Dr.
