While my PhD dissertation research taught me how to utilize toxicology and exposure information and conduct risk assessments, I did not learn much about computational techniques, which are becoming increasingly important in a Tox21 world. In particular, I was interested in computational toxicology models, like quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and read-across, that can be used to support risk-based prioritization of chemical inventories and address information gaps in chemic

My name is Lorraine N. Vélez-Torres, and I am currently a PhD candidate in the Microbiology and Medical Zoology Department at the Universidad de Puerto Rico Recinto de Ciencias Médicas. My research project focuses on assessing the effect of Hurricane María on indoor air concentrations of fungal spores among homes affected by different degrees of water damage and evaluating the immunotoxicity potential of Aspergillus species in humans. In Puerto Rico, fu

One key goal of SOT and the Faculty United for Toxicology Undergraduate Recruitment and Education (FUTURE) Committee is to engage undergraduates in toxicology early with the hope that they will continue to study and work in the field. One important way SOT supports undergraduate students exploring toxicology is by providing funding for summer research programs. This allows undergraduates the opportunity to experience toxicology research in a robust and hands-on way. Even with the pandemic cha
