A joint meeting of the International Society of Exposure Science and the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology (ISES/ISEE) was held in Atlanta, Georgia on August 17-20, 2025. Several researchers from the Stapleton and Hoffman labs (Project 1) attended.
Duke Superfund Trainee, Rebecca Hoehn, received two awards for Best Student Paper and Student/New Researcher Outstanding Abstract. Hoehn’s research uses silicone passive samplers to assess human exposures to chemicals in indoor environments. Her poster at ISES, entitled “A fresh look at exposure profiles: utilizing z-scores to assess predictors of exposure to semi-volatile organic contaminants in wristbands” focused on a new method for analyzing complex exposure data. This approach standardizes exposures to many chemicals within large cohorts, allowing for comparison of exposure profiles and total exposure relative to other people in the same cohort.
