Contents Notes
"In April 2016, Dr. Susan Murphy discussed how advancements in the field of epigenetics (i.e., how external factors alter gene regulation) are revealing how exposure to unhealthy environments during critical periods of our lives can result in adverse health effects. But how can EPA use that understanding to inform its regulatory decisions? -- To provide insights into that very question, the EPA-RTP Management Council and the Cutting Edge Speakers Series Committee are pleased to host Dr. Rebecca Fry, one of only a handful of researchers investigating how toxicoepigenetic data can be used in risk assessments. In her presentation, 'Incorporating Epigenetic Data into the Risk Assessment Process: A Case Study on Inorganic Arsenic, ' Dr. Fry will discuss how we can incorporate into regulatory decision making the toxicant-induced epigenetic modifications that likely underlie disease. Those interested in the technical aspects of Rebecca's work may want to view the attached abstract. -- Please join us on Wednesday, May 10, at 10:30 a.m. in the RTP Auditorium for a glimpse of how truly cutting-edge researchers are beginning to untangle - at the molecular level - the complex relationship between human health and the environment to better assess the risk of toxicant-induced disease. -- Rebecca Fry is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at UNC-Chapel Hill, the Director of Graduate Studies in the Curriculum of Toxicology at UNC, and the Director of UNC's Superfund Research Program. With over 100 peer-reviewed publications to her name, her groundbreaking research builds off her expertise in the areas of DNA repair, toxicogenomics and systems biology to identify epigenetic mechanisms that may underlie children's health."--Cutting Edge Speaker Series webpage.
