"We evaluated the effect of pH on the partitioning of alkali metal salts and whether the effect of pH on salt partitioning and rejection is consistent with Donnan theory predictions." Read the most recent publication by @UNC_SRP Dr. Coronell pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
MIT Superfund Research Program Team reveals that a Single Enzyme (AAG) can Dictate NDMA-Induced Disease Outcome: too low -> cancer, too high -> toxicity @MIT_SRP @NIEHS_SRP @EMGSUS
Congratulations to Jessica Beard! The MIT Superfund Research Program is proud to have Jessica on their team. Her work is having a positive impact on public health by providing a deeper understanding of how carcinogens form in the environment. @MIT_SRP @SRP_NIEHS @EMGSUS
I just got the reviews back for my 1st first-author manuscript (a review) and they're overall so positive!! I think I remember what joy feels like now 😃😂
Congratulations to Jenny Kay on winning the Wetterhahn Award! This is the highest honor for trainees in the NIEHS Superfund Research Program. Her work at MIT in the Engelward lab helps to elucidate how DNA structural changes cause cancer and toxicity. @MIT_SRP @NIEHS_SRP @EMGSUS
Did you hear today's news? Three Lemelson-MIT Prize winners have been named 2020 @AcadofInventors Fellows! Congrats to Timothy Swager, Luis von Ahn, and Feng Zhang. Read more here: ow.ly/cf3U50CG43P. #NAIFellow
Congratulations to Timothy M. Swager for being named as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors! The MIT Superfund benefits from having Prof. Swager on their team with his marvelous inventions for sensing hazardous chemicals. @NIEHS_SRP @MIT_SRP@EMGSUS
@SRP_NIEHS E-Newsletter featured Phil Brown & @steepsuperfund's Laurel Schaider recognition by ISES for their outstanding publication highlighting the need to enforce standards to protect human health from exposure to PFAS through contaminated water. nature.com/articles/s41370-0…
Rosemarie De La Rosa and Martyn Smith @ucbsrp with Jennifer Schlezinger and Thomas Webster @BU_Superfund published a paper that extends the application of generalized concentration addition to predict mixture effects of glucocorticoid receptor agonists.
