Dr. Lioy received a PhD in environmental sciences from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Richard T. Di Giulio serves as director of Duke University's Integrated Toxi- cology Program and the Superfund Basic Research Center. His research con- cerns basic studies of mechanisms of contaminant metabolism, adaptation, and toxicity and the development of mechanistically based indexes of exposure and toxicity that can be used in biomonitoring. The long-term goals of his research are to bridge the gap between mechanistic toxicologic research and the devel- opment of useful tools for environmental assessment and to elucidate linkages between human and ecosystem health. The bulk of Dr. Di Giulio's work uses a comparative approach with aquatic animals, particularly fishes, as models. Of particular concern are mechanisms of oxidative metabolism of aromatic hydro- carbons, mechanisms of free-radical production and antioxidant defense, mechanisms of chemical carcinogenesis, and developmental perturbations and adaptations to contaminated environments by fishes. He received a PhD from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. J. Paul Gilman is senior vice president and chief sustainability officer for Co- vanta Energy.
