- Jeffrey M. Peters wins achievement award
Dr. Jeffrey Peters (Ph.D., University of California-Davis) has performed seminal research concerning the biological role of the PPAR class of nuclear receptors. He has effectively developed and utilized genetically engineered mouse strains to demonstrate the critical role of interactions of xenobiotics with these receptors to explain their biologic and toxicologic effects, beginning with his showing that the hepatocarcinogenic effect of PPAR agonists requires a functional PPAR. His research has had a profound impact on the risk assessment of a broad range of chemicals, helping to focus mechanistic research on the extrapolation of effects in animal models to humans. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in toxicology, and he is an active member of SOT, serving on the Continuing Education Committee and as Associate Editor for Toxicological Sciences.
