LAZORCHAK, J. M. AND M. E. SMITH. Culture and toxicity testing with the amphipod Hyalella azteca. Presented at Advancing Methods for Culture and Toxicity Workshop, Chicago, IL, March 02 - 03, 2010.
Impact/Purpose:
The indeterminate condition of exposure indicator research stands to change markedly with the ability to connect molecular biological technologies with cellular or tissue effects and outcomes. Three focal areas of ecological research aim to develop a sequence of approaches where "the earliest recognizable signatures of exposure" (i.e., unique patterns of up- and down-regulated genes and proteins) are identified for numerous stressors, demonstrable in case studies and incorporated into Agency, State and Regional studies supported by EMAP and other programs.
