The Environmental Biology and Chemistry Branch focuses on three objectives: to maintain collaborative support laboratories in the disciplines of Chemistry, Inhalation Toxicology, Comparative Pathology, and Veterinary Medicine; to program and coordinate experimental animal procurement, housing, and utilization within the Institute; to plan and conduct research appropriate to the capabilities of ...

A significant challenge in environmental toxicology is that many genetic and genomic tools available in laboratory models are not developed for commonly used environmental models. The Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) is one of the most studied teleost environmental models, yet few genetic or genomic tools have been developed for use in this species. The advancement of genetic and evol...

BACKGROUND The National Academies' Standing Committee on Use of Emerging Science for Environmental Health Decisions held a meeting (21-22 September 2009 in Washington, DC) titled "Computational Toxicology: From Data to Analyses to Applications." This commentary reflects on the presentations and roundtable discussions from the meeting that were designed to review the state of the art in the fiel...

An understanding of the environmental toxicology of ionizing radiation (IR) is needed because nuclear power production is expanding and there is increasing pressure to build nuclear waste repositories. The effects of IR in the environment have long been investigated but there have been fewer studies involving environmental microbiology than its importance to key ecosystems services demands. Her...
