Researchers from Dartmouth's Center for Environmental
Health Sciences work on scientific studies in interdisciplinary teams
made up of members from the Center's three Areas of Expertise. Most interdisciplinary
research teams include graduate students; many include undergraduates.
Research topics determine the makeup of investigative teams.
Molecular toxicology of metals includes studies of metal
transport and uptake, metal-induced gene array analysis, metal-specific
signal transduction and gene expression, and effects of metals on
biotransformation of drugs and toxins.

Endocrine disruption by metals, organic toxins and other
agents includes research on the effects of chemicals on hormone
systems which can lead to effects on diabetes, vascular disease,
cancer, embryonic development and reproduction.
Investigators:

Molecular biomarkers is research exploring molecular evidence
of chemical exposure and disease for application to human epidemiology,
laboratory research and field ecotoxicology studies.

Epidemiology of arsenic includes population-based studies
examining associations between arsenic exposure and several diseases
including skin and bladder cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease
in New England.

Epidemiology of environmental agents in children evaluates
unique environmental health risk factors in children.

Movement of toxic agents through aquatic food webs is work
focusing on the relationship between food webs and the biomagnification
of toxins in lakes.
Investigators:
top
Sources, fate and transport of toxic agents is work examining
the way metals and other harmful substances move from geological
and human sources through the atmosphere and watersheds and into
groundwater.
Investigators:

Interrelationships of microbes with environmental factors includes
work on environmental influences on the pathogenesis of cholera
and the role of bacterial biofilms in environmental fate and transport
of metals.
Investigators:
top
Uptake and cellular transport of metals is work examining
the way metals are taken up and moved through cells in plants and
animals.
