Preethi Thunga successfully defended her PhD dissertation, entitled 'Using zebrafish behavior to study gene-environment interactions after chemical exposures".
David joined NIH/NIEHS/DTT as Chief of the Predictive Toxicology Branch in October 2022.
The Predictive Toxicology Branch (PTB) partners across the NIEHS Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) to develop and apply innovative approaches to predict human-relevant health effects from agents of …
Dr. Dylan Wallis is now a postdoc at the U.S. EPA Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment with Dr. Jeffrey Minucci.
Following a joint scientific retreat with Robyn Tanguay's group at Oregon State University (Including a beautiful waterfall hike!), they generously hosted Preethi Thunga at SARL so that she could gain better understanding of data generation for her dissertation work.
Dr. Adrian Green has joined Sciome as a Senior Computational Toxicologist.
Preethi Thunga was selected to take part in the Accelerate to Industry (A2i)™program with the NC State Graduate School. This selective program advances professional development skills, with an emphasis on leadership, teamwork, and communication. For more details, see:
The event brought together experts to celebrate the leadership of Prof. Martyn Smith in developing the "Key Characteristics of Human Carcinogens" and collaborate on future directions for the Key Characteristics approach.
