The newly announced NIH Systemic Injury from Environmental Exposure (SIEE) study section represents the culmination of a decade of effort by the Society of Toxicology to more closely align the scientific background and expertise of NIH’s research proposal reviewers to the science they are being asked to review.
Since the rise in the use of hydraulic fracturing of shale to produce natural gas and oil, many have debated the merits and detractions of the practice. Members of the Society of Toxicology (SOT) outline how toxicological sciences can be used to determine what risks may or may not be associated with fracking.
With biofuels being used globally on a wider scale than ever before, scientists are discussing the implications of their use on human and environmental health at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Phoenix, Ariz.
Is air pollution connected with increases in obesity, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease? Researchers are providing insight into that question at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Phoenix, Ariz.
Toxicologists are revealing new methods and models for estimating infants’ exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Phoenix, Ariz.
The nutritional supplement industry—makers of vitamins, minerals, and other supplements—is one of the fastest growing industries in the world, but despite dietary supplements’ widespread use, there is a lack of premarket approval in some countries and a general lack of information on the safety of these products. This scarcity of testing and information is being addressed today at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Phoenix, Ariz.
In 2013, more than half a million people were employed in the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing industry. As with any industrial activity, the question of whether there are worker health issues must be addressed. Experts are exploring this topic today at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Phoenix, Ariz.
Toxicologists are presenting information on the uses of nanotechnology in food and food packaging and the current efforts to assure the safe development of the technology at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Phoenix, Ariz.
With obesity affecting 30 percent of the US population, toxicologists and other scientists are exploring how exposure to environmental chemicals might be exacerbating this and other health problems. They are discussing some of their findings today at the Society of Toxicology (SOT) 53rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo in Phoenix, Ariz.
The Society of Toxicology (SOT) honors dozens of educators and students through its awarding of 2014 educator and student-focused awards. Aimed at supporting further scientific and education endeavors, these student and educator awards range from the recognition of esteemed professors to grants for new research.
Several outstanding scientists are being honored with awards from the Society of Toxicology (SOT), a professional association of more than 7,700 toxicologists. Each year, the Society recognizes scientists who have made impactful contributions to the field of toxicology.
With renewed focus from Congress on reforming the Toxic Substances Control Act, scientists from the Society of Toxicology are meeting and working with Members of Congress and their staffs to ensure sound scientific portions of any resulting bill.
Nobel Laureate Sir John B. Gurdon, DPhil, DSc, FRS, will kick off the largest gathering of toxicologists in the world at the Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting and ToxExpo. The meeting from March 23-27, 2014, will feature almost 170 scientific sessions and 2,900 abstracts.
Toxicological insight into the science behind a recent report highlighting levels of a potential carcinogen in carbonated beverages. Our scientists analyze the data and identify whether or not the carcinogen poses a health risk for humans.
