April 2022 We are recruiting a Research Assistant! Apply here! Latest set of publications are out now in Biochemical Pharmacology that are authored by several dozen experts in metabolic health, obesity, and chemical obesogens. Articles discuss state of the evidence for molecular mechanisms promoting obesity (I), causal evidence for obesogens (II), and assays available and emerging to measure obesogens (III). Obesity I: Overview and molecular and biochemical mechanisms. Obesity II: Establishing causal links between chemical exposures and obesity. Obesity III: Obesogen assays: Limitations, strengths, and new directions. News Coverage: Environmental Health News March 2022 Kassotis lab attended Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting in San Diego, California, where we shared more on our research into ethoxylated surfactants, unconventional oil and gas chemical mixtures, contraceptives, and liquid crystal monomers!
