1. Helmut Zarbl
1. Zarbl, Helmut
Academic and Professional Credentials PhD
Current Position Title Professor and Director of EOHSI, Rutgers
Organizational Affiliation(s) Rutgers School of Public Health
Department of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI)
and Director of the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
Areas of Expertise, Discipline, Relevant Experiences Expertise / Discipline: toxicogenomics and functional genomics, carcinogenesis, molecular and cellular biology, toxicology; oncogene activation, mechanisms of signal transduction, and genetic linkage analysis. His studies in the area of toxicogenomics include the development and application of standards for DNA microarray experiments, and phenotypic anchoring of response of human cells, model organisms (yeast) and target organs (rodents) to toxicants, providing insights into dose and temporal responses, as well as mechanisms of action. He is also actively involved in technology development for functional genomics and biomarker screening.
Experience: Dr. Zarbl serves as the Director of the NIEHS sponsored Center for Environmental Exposures and Disease. He is also the Associate Director For Public Health Sciences at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey. He serves on numerous national research review and advisory panels, and editorial panels. Dr. Zarbl is known for his work in areas of toxicogenomics, and mechanisms of and genetic susceptibility to chemical carcinogenesis, mechanisms of mutagenesis and toxicity, and technology development. These research efforts have to date resulted in over 70 scientific papers and book chapters.

2. Dale Hattis
2. Hattis, Dale
Academic and Professional Credentials PhD
Current Position Title Research Professor
Organizational Affiliation(s) George Perkins Marsh Institute, Clark University
Areas of Expertise, Discipline, Relevant Experiences Expertise / Discipline: pharmacokinetics, risk assessment, pharmacodynamics, toxicology, toxicity, pharmacokinetic modeling, pharmacogenetics, toxicokinetics, PKPD modeling, human health
Experience: Bridge the gap between experimental scientists and statistical researchers by representing the causal mechanisms that are likely to lead to biological damage of policy interest. The principal foci of his past work are the use of various biomarkers and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models to improve risk assessment for carcinogens; quantitative treatment of inter-individual variability in susceptibility for a wide variety of non-cancer effects; and the use of Monte Carlo simulations to represent the combined effects of multiple sources of uncertainty and variability.
