David L. Eaton, PhD
Associate Vice Provost, Office of Research
Professor, Env. and Occ. Health Sciences (Primary department)
Dr. Eaton received his Ph.D. in pharmacology from the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) in 1978. Following a post-doctoral fellowship in Toxicology at KUMC, he joined the faculty of the University of Washington in 1979. He served as Toxicology Program Director in the Department of Environmental Health from 1983-90, then as Associate Chairman of the Department from 1990-92, and as Associate Dean for Research in the School of Public Health from 1999-2005. He is currently Professor and Director of the Center for Ecogenetics and Environmental Health, an NIEHS Center of Excellence, at the University of Washington, and Associate Vice Provost for Research for the University of Washington. Dr. Eaton maintains his own active research and teaching program focused in the area of the molecular basis for environmental causes of cancer, and how human genetic differences in biotransformation enzymes may increase or decrease individual susceptibility to chemicals found in the environment. Nationally, he has served on the Board of Directors and as Treasurer of the American Board of Toxicology (1990-94), and as President of the Society of Toxicology (2001-02). He has also served on the Board of Environmental Studies and Toxicology, National Academy of Sciences /National Resource Council (1996-99), as a member of the Board of Directors and Vice-President of the Toxicology Education Foundation, and on the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Toxicological Sciences. He is an Elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Academy of Toxicological Sciences. In 2011 he was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, and to the Washington State Academy of Sciences. He has published over 150 scientific articles and book chapters in the field of toxicology and risk assessment.

Program/Grant Name: Center for Ecogenetics and Environmental Health
Funding Agency: NIH/NIEHS (P30 ES07033)
Many diseases of public health importance, such as most cancers, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's disease, asthma, and even birth defects, arise through a complex interaction of genetics and environment. Investigators in the Center for Ecogenetics and Environmental Health are conducting research to understand how specific genetic traits increase or decrease an individual's likelihood of contracting a chronic disease or illness. For example, researchers are studying how genetic differences in the way people break down (metabolize) drugs and other chemicals might increase their chances of getting cancer when exposed to potentially cancer-causing chemicals in their workplace, diet or lifestyle activities (e.g., smoking). Other researchers in the Center are studying genetic traits that, when combined with exposure to substances in the diet or general environment, make individuals more likely to develop chronic neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Other researchers are investigating the link between air pollution and cardiovascular disease in genetically susceptible populations, and environmental factors that might cause birth defects in genetically susceptible individuals. In addition to basic research, the Center includes community engagement activities that include consideration of the ethical, legal and social issues related to the use, and potential misuse, of genetic susceptibility information. The Community Outreach and Ethics Core within the CEEH develops workshops and educational materials, and promotes community education, in the environmental health sciences. Although based in the School of Public Health and Community Medicine, CEEH Investigators come from a variety of schools and departments across the University. Research findings from CEEH investigators will help unravel how genetics and environment interact to produce disease, and are an important extension of the exciting new information coming from the Human Genome Project.

Program/Grant Name: In vitro toxicology on engineered nanomaterials
Funding Agency: NIH/NIEHS (U19)
Rapid advances in nanotechnology have resulted in the generation of a wide variety of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). There is an increasing and urgent need to evaluate the possible adverse effects of ENMs on human health and the environment, and this in turn requires the development and validation of in vitro test systems suitable for nanomaterials testing that are predictive of in vivo human response. Because ENMs vary widely in their physical and chemical characteristics, it is at present difficult to predict a priori their likely interaction with and toxicity toward biological systems. Moreover, it is likely that different cell types and target tissues will show unique sensitivities toward these materials. It is essential that comparative in vitro studies with a variety of different tissue types be conducted on a variety of physically and chemically different, but well characterized, nanomaterials of potential widespread use. In ongoing studies we are assessing the toxicity of quantum dot nanomaterials in air liquid interface cultures of respiratory epithelial cells, and human and mouse hepatocyte cultures. We have recently expanded these studies to include additional nanomaterials nominated for study by the NCNHIR consortium, as well as additional cell types that may represent additional important target organs for nanomaterials.
