 David
E. Hinton, Nicholas Professor of ecotoxicology, will
be a visiting professor at Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan,
January - March, 2002. His work will involve creating a precise
internal map of development in the see-through medaka. This
albino medaka fish is being used as an in vivo model for detection
of compounds that alter development and differentiation of
the reproductive system in fishes.
Hinton presented "Chemical Carcinogenesis in fishes: History,
Current Research and Animal Models" at the University of Plymouth,
July 10-11.
Hinton spoke on "Comparative Hepatic Structure in Mammals
and Fishes: Interpreting Hepatobiliary Toxic Alterations in
Tubular versus Laminar Livers" at the Sixth International
Congress of Vertebrate Morphology, Jena, Germany, July 21-26.
He was co-chairman for an international meeting on Use of
Medaka (Oryzias latipes) in Endocrine Disruptor Research in
Nagoya, Japan, June 6-8.
