A Presentation of the McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment
University of Ottawa
There is considerable interest, currently, in the potential of toxicogenomics as a basis to develop high-throughput models for predicting potential safety concerns or for rapidly identifying biomarkers of exposure or effect of chemicals in the general environment. This presentation will focus on how toxicogenomics may be helpful in informing prioritization, screening and identification of environmental hazards, mode of action and cumulative risk.
Dr. Wolf is an Assistant Laboratory Director for the National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL) of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) where he continues his work in chemical carcinogenesis and molecular pathology. He is an adjunct faculty member at North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and has authored or coauthored over 100 journal articles, book chapters, and technical reports in the area of chemical assessment. He is a Fellow of both the International Academy of Toxicologic Pathologists and the Academy of Toxicological Sciences and has received several awards from the U.S. EPA and the Society of Toxicology.
