Jay I. Goodman, SOT Past President, 1999–2000
Toxicology Is Part of the Solution
Many people associate toxicology with poisons. In fact, toxicologists are the scientists who discover and describe how to reduce exposures and ways to use chemicals safely.
Dr. Jay Goodman is a Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Michigan State University. Dr. Goodman’s research interests are in the area of epigenetics and the role(s) that change DNA methylation may play in carcinogenesis and other possible endpoints. He is testing the hypothesis that susceptibility to carcinogenesis is related inversely to the capacity to maintain normal patterns of DNA metylation. Dr. Goodman received his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of Michigan.
SOT is dedicated to creating a safer and healthier world by advancing the science of toxicology.
