Richard Di Giulio, PhD, ITEHP Director, is also the Duke University Superfund Research Center (DUSRC) Director.  He is the lead PI of a DUSCRC project focused on understanding the mechanisms and consequences of killifish adaptations to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).  Work performed by the Di Giulio lab was recently featured as an NIEHS Superfund Research Program news brief, “Killifish Hint at Genetic Basis for Human Toxicant Susceptibility“. Contributing to the research described in the article were recent ITEHP graduates, Jordan Kozal and Casey Lindberg.
