He has published more than 100 research papers, contributed to 30 books, and written a dozen articles explaining toxicological principles to the general public. His research specialty is chemical carcinogenesis, focusing on how enzymes in the liver activate and detoxify carcinogenic chemicals and how components of the diet (e.g. plant-derived chemicals) modify cancer risk. He directs the Center for Ecogenetics and Environmental Health, which brings together more than 50 UW investigators to study how small differences in human genes (polymorphisms) can influence susceptibility to toxic substances in the environment. The center is funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).
Elaine M. Faustman, PhD, is a professor in the Toxicology program and director of the Institute for Risk Analysis and Risk Communication and the Center for Child Environmental Health Risks Research. Her long-range aim is to identify biochemical and molecular mechanisms of developmental and reproductive toxicity. Because 70% of human birth defects have an unknown cause, she wants to identify preventable causes, focusing on several types of pollutants including pesticides and metals such as lead and methylmercury. Recently, she chaired a National Academy of Sciences panel that developed approaches for incorporating new genomic, molecular, and developmental biological findings into risk assessment. She is an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Society of Risk Analysis. Dr. Faustman has published more than 90 papers in peer-reviewed journals and 25 book chapters and other publications.
