Update Your Information
We are updating the CHHE website! We want to be sure that we have the current information about you up there. Please go the
website and check your information. Send any updates (including photos) to
Jackie Broughton. Also check to make sure you are in the Research Interest Group that you want to be in (you can be in more than one). We reorganized the RIGs when we submitted the renewal grant.

Congratulations to
Rob Smart,
CHHE Director, on his recent appointment as the
Goodnight Distinguished Chair in Molecular Toxicology
. This professorship was made possible by a gift from longtime NC State supporters Jim and Ann Goodnight and recognizes the many contributions that Rob has made to the university.
Congratulations to
Randy Jirtle
for being this year's recipient of the
Research and Innovation Leadership Award
from the
Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute in Seattle, WA
Congratulations to
Seth Kullman
and Ed Levin (Duke), they received a grant from the Autism Research Institute entitled
"Using Zebrafish to Help Identify Which Environmental Toxicants Could Increase Autism Risk,”
Mike Cowley (PI) and
Marine Baptissart (co-I) won a Feasibility Study grant worth $30,000 from the NIDDK-funded P30 Center at UNC Chapel Hill, for their project
"Epigenetic dysregulation of the Imprinted Gene Network in the programming of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease". Way to go!

Interest Groups News
Environmental Epigenetics Interest Group
This group will build a community of faculty, staff and students interested in the mechanisms and consequences of interactions between the environment and the epigenome. We will discuss current trends, exchange ideas, share technical knowledge, and foster collaborations with the goal of addressing outstanding questions in the field.
Behavior and Neuroscience Interest Group
This group will focus on research examining the influences of the environment on issues in Neuroscience. Examples of the environment include sensory, diet, behaviors, neurotoxicants, etc. Goals include increasing research collaborations, grant submissions, enhancing trainee presentation skills and our presence at the Society for Neuroscience meeting.

Pulmonary Interest Group
The Pulmonary Interest Group will work to establish collaborations between basic and translational scientists and clinicians that are interested in understanding mechanisms behind environmental exposures and lung diseases. This group will hold meetings at both NCSU and ECU to facilitate exchange of ideas and expertise that will result in interdisciplinary groups that can apply for external funding opportunities.
Emerging Contaminants Interest Group
Are you studying PFAS, BMAA, green space, nanoparticles, other emerging topics of interest? If so, think about joining the Emerging Contaminants Research Interest Group.
Jane Hoppin
sent out a survey to help identify how we want to organize this group. If you didn't get the invite, or lost the link, here it is again:
survey
. We will find a time to meet soon to get ourselves organized.

Katy May moderated the community stakeholder panel at the Environmental Health Collaborative's
2019 Fall PFAS Symposium: Integrating Science and Solutions in NC. The panel included a small town water provider, representatives of DEQ and DHHS, a local riverkeeper and a community activist from Wilmington. This panel was integral to demonstrating the importance of the emerging science of PFAS.
