Lucio G. Costa, Ph.D., is professor of environmental health and toxicology at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine. He is also director of the NIEHS-sponsored Neurotoxicology Research Core at the Center in Ecogenetics and Environmental Health. His research is focused on the study of the cellular, biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in neurotoxicity using biochemical, molecular and imaging techniques. David L. Eaton is Professor of Environmental Health and Associate Dean for Research in the School of Public Health and Community Medicine at the University of Washington. He serves as Director of the Center for Ecogenetics and Environmental Health, and is also Deputy Director for a major NIEHS-sponsored research initiative in the area of toxicogenomics. Dr. Eaton's research interests focus on understanding how subtle genetic differences between individuals and species can result in potentially large differences in susceptibility to chemical carcinogens.

"...highly recommended for academic libraries that have
undergraduate and graduate studies in genetics, toxicology, and
pharmacology." (E-STREAMS, September 2007)
"...a great accomplishment, and it can well serve as a primary,
extensively-referenced text..." (American Journal of Medical
Genetics, Part A, August 1, 2007)
"...a must-have for all toxicology and pharmacology students as
well as a great resource for researchers and physicians."
(Environmental Health Perspectives, June 2006)
"...a vital in-office reference for any scientific researcher
dedicated to the study of genetics...invaluable to public health
researchers who are look at how global threats live Avian Flu might
spread to the general populous...an indispensable reference to all
health science libraries." (The Electric Review, March/April
2006)
