 Paul R. Hanlon, PhD - Email - (262) 495-6493
2003 PhD in Molecular & Environmental Toxicology from UW-Madison - Advisor - Colin R. Jefcoate
Graduate Work: My project focused on the effects of the environmental pollutant dioxin on the process of adipocyte differentiation (how normal cells become fat cells). My project was focused on the molecular biology behind this process, which meant I spent most of my time examining the effects of dioxin and differentiation on gene expression using techniques such as Western blotting and microarrays.
Dissertation: TCDD-Mediated Inhibition of Adipocyte Differentiation: using TCDD as a Tool to Identify Molecular Mechanisms Critical for Adipogenesis
Graduate Experience: My time in the tox program was challenging and rewarding. Certainly looking back at my time in graduate school I am very happy with my decision to pursue a doctoral degree, and my time as a graduate student taught me a lot about toxicology and science. I feel that my graduate career has prepared me well for success in the professional world.
As of Fall 2007: Manager of Biological Research; Standard Process, Inc
Bio: Paul Hanlon received his Ph.D. in Molecular Toxicology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2003. His doctoral work focused on the molecular mechanisms by which dioxin, an environmental contaminant, affected the development of fat cells. From 2003 to 2005 Paul Hanlon held a research fellowship at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in Durham, North Carolina. At NIEHS he studied the cardio-protective effects of erythropoietin. His desire to continue working in the laboratory led him to accept the position of Manager of Biological Research at Standard Process where he is able to continue conducting experiments while also leading a team of researchers that are using sophisticated in vitro models to study the biological effects of whole foods. Conducting experiments with vegetables that he harvests from the farm himself makes it easy for him to see the relevance of the research he is conducting now to human health. Paul spends his free time brewing beer at home or jogging as a way to compensate for his consumption of homebrewed beer.

 Colleen Hegg, PhD - Email - (517) 432-2339
1996 PhD in Environmental Toxicology from UW-Madison - Advisor - Miletic
Dissertation: The Acute and Chronic Effects of Inorganic Lead on High-Threshold Voltage-Gated Calcium Currents in Rat Pheochromocytoma (PC12) Cells
As of Fall 2007: Assistant Professor Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology - Michigan State University
Bio: Dr. Hegg received her Ph.D. in Environmental Toxicology in 1996 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. From 1996-1999, Dr. Hegg was a NIH-NIDA Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Minnesota. Her research addressed the overall question of how HIV-1 proteins, chemokines, and drugs of abuse influence glutamatergic synaptic transmission. In 2000, Dr. Hegg moved to the University of Utah and switched fields of study to the physiological function of the peripheral olfactory system. In 2006, Dr. Hegg moved to Michigan State University as an assistant professor where she has integrated her background in toxicology with her recent research in the olfactory system. Her research group is investigating the mechanisms of injury-evoked neuronal regeneration using the mouse olfactory system as a model. Dr. Hegg also investigates the effects of relevant airborne pollutants on the olfactory system

Graduate Work: Toxicology of Scombroid Poisoning - potentiation of toxicity via enzyme inhibition
Dissertation: Toxicology of Scombroid Poisoning: Potentiation of Histamine Toxicity via Enzyme Inhibition
Graduate Experience: Toxicology is such a broad discipline and the interdisciplinary structure of the Environmental Toxicology Center enabled me to learn from faculties who worked in various aspects of toxicology.
As of Summer 2008: Director, Toxicology; Celgene Corporation in New Jersey
Bio: Julia Y. Hui, Ph.D. is an Associate Research Fellow and Head of Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology in the Department of Regulatory Toxicology at Abbott Laboratories. Julia received a B.S. in Pharmacy from Northeastern University, Boston, MA (1980) and a Ph.D. in Toxicology (with a minor in Pharmacology) from University of Wisconsin, Madison (1984). During her graduate studies, she conducted research at the Food Research Institute, and continued working in the food toxicology area as a postdoctoral fellow for a short time after graduation. For the past 21 years, Julia has been working in the area of Regulatory Toxicology at Abbott Laboratories. She has Study Director experience in conducting studies encompassing nearly all areas of toxicology, with an expertise in the area of developmental and reproductive toxicology (DART). Before leaving Abbot, her job responsibilities included leadership and overseeing all regulatory studies and issues in the DART area, as well as DART consult
ant for sister divisions within Abbott. She also supervised and lead a group of Ph.D. level scientists in various functions of general and reproductive toxicology. She has authored numerous IND and NDA submissions, and participated in discussions on compound-related issues with regulatory agencies. During her tenure at Abbott, she has authored more than 180 peer-reviewed scientific reports and numerous publications. In Summer 2008 she accepted a position with Celgene Corporation.
