Toxics Webinar | Air Pollution and Biomarkers
Meet Our Speakers
Prof. Dr. Doug Brugge
Department of Public Health Sciences, School of Medicine, University of Connecticut, CT, USA;
I am professor and chair of my department and have been principle investigator on a series of NIH funded research studies of ultrafine particles from traffic and their association with cardiovascular biomarkers.
On Monday, 6 February 2023, MDPI and the Journal Toxics organized the 5th webinar on Toxics, entitled "Air Pollution and Biomarkers".
Two researchers, one a toxicologist, the other an environmental epidemiologist, presented their research about how ambient particulate matter affects biological pathways and biomarkers. Dr. Brugge presented findings from research in near highway human populations in the US that found associations between ultrafine particle exposure and inflammatory biomarkers. Dr. Xu presented findings from studies in mice that show multigenerational effects on adiposity following exposure to fine particulates.
The presentations were followed by a Q&A and a discussion, moderated by the Chair. The webinar was offered via Zoom and required registration to attend. The full recording can be found here on Sciforum website.
