	Lucio G. Costa University of Washington, Seattle The general area of research in Dr. Costa’s laboratory at the University of Washington, Seattle, is neurotoxicology. Neurotoxic substances may play a role in a number of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders and exposure to neurotoxicants may cause long-term changes in the nervous system. Dr. Costa's laboratory is interested in the study of the cellular, biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in neurotoxicity, utilizing in vivo, in vitro and cell culture systems, as well as biochemical, molecular and imaging techniques.
	Ernest Hodgson Dr Ernest Hodgson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology at North Carolina State University. Dr Hodgson was awarded the B. Sc., with Honors, by the University of Durham (UK) and the Ph.D. by Oregon State University. He has been interested in the metabolism of xenobiotics for many years and, more recently, has focused on the human metabolism of xenobiotics, particularly environmental chemicals. Dr Hodgson is also known for the publication of two widely accepted textbooks of toxicology, Molecular and Biochemical Toxicology 4/e (R. C. Smart and E. Hodgson, eds) Wiley, 2008 and A Textbook of Modern Toxicology 3/e (E. Hodgson, ed) Wiley, 2004.
	David A. Lawrence A.B., Biology, Rutgers University, 1966 Dr. Lawrence’s research addresses the influences of environmental factors on immune activities, including human and animal immune defenses and autoimmune diseases. His biomedical studies have evaluated the influence of dietary supplements on modulating rheumatoid arthritis and the involvement of autoanitbodies on neurobehavior and neuroinflammation in lupus and Parkinson’s disease and autism. He received his education at Rutgers University and Boston College and obtained further training at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation. He currently is Chief of Immunology and director of the Immunology Core at Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health. He also is the Head of a Clinical Immunology Program. He has served on NIH study sections and is currently on the editorial board of numerous journals.
	Donald J. Reed Dr. Reed received his Masters degree in organic chemistry and Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry from Oregon State University, Corvallis. After brief associations with the USDA and the University of Montana, he returned to Oregon State University where he began a long and distinguished career that included long service as the Director of the Environmental Health Sciences Center and service as the interim director of the Linus Pauling Institute at OSU. He is a past president of the Society of Toxicology, has had leadership positions in the International Union of Toxicology, and has served three time on the Scientific Program Committee of the International Congress of Toxicology. He has received several awards, including the Society of Toxicology Merit Award. Don is currently Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at OSU.
