Understanding Developmental Immunotoxicology and the Effects of PFAS

SOT TV 2020

SOT member and East Carolina University Associate Professor Jamie DeWitt discusses developmental immunotoxicology, a toxicology subdiscipline that examines how external agents affect immature immune systems. Dr. DeWitt also describes the importance of understanding the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the developing immune system to better protect the public from potential adverse health outcomes. By understanding how the developing immune system is affected by PFAS and other pollutants, toxicologists can help reduce disease risk across all spectrums, not just immune dysfunction. Founded in 1961, the Society of Toxicology (SOT) is a professional and scholarly organization of scientists from academic institutions, government, and industry representing the great variety of scientists who practice toxicology in the US and abroad.
