ESSENTIAL AND NON-ESSENTIAL ELEMENT BIOAVAILABILITY FROM SUBSISTENCE FOODS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 生物医学研究的重点是25个字或更少。野生动物毒理实验室是用于维持生存的污染物、健康和营养以及野生动物的实验室。我们不仅仅是研究，我们还参与诊断/解决问题。 2006-2007财年实验/研究计划： 总共有五名博士生和三名WTL学生，他们都还没有成为候选人，我们的重点是他们的研究。只有一名实验室经理(0.5FTE)作为工作人员，这对朗达和我来说是一项艰巨的任务。 我们将专注于开发动物模型，以评估阿拉斯加相关的疾病和/或毒物问题： 北极狐狸采样(圈养研究和自由放养动物采样)，Kirk和Knott博士项目 北极地松鼠(评估感染物和毒物相互作用的可能模型，与阿拉斯加有关的是肝炎病毒和食源性毒物)。 刺鱼和斑马达尼奥鱼模型(伯恩哈特博士后续报道) 越来越明显的是，狐狸可能是一款笨重而昂贵的车型，我们不能只依赖它。 进度报告由以下因素决定： 阿拉斯加INBRE(一年两次) 教师评审流程 年度审查(针对IAB、B&W和Dean) 晋升和终身教职文件

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Biomedical Research Focus in 25 words or less. Wildlife Toxicology Laboratory is contaminants, health & nutrition of subsistence use & wildlife. We are not solely research we are involved with diagnostics/problem solving. FY 2006-2007 Lab/Research Plan: With five Ph.D. students total and three in the WTL, none of them as candidates yet, our focus is on their research. With only a Laboratory Manager (0.5 FTE) as staff this is a large task for Rhonda and I. We will focus on the development of animal models to assess Alaska relevant disease and/or toxicant concerns: Arctic fox sampling (captive studies and sampling free ranging animals), Kirk and Knott Ph.D. projects Arctic ground squirrel (possible model for assessing interactions of infectious agents and toxicants, relevance to Alaska is hepatitis virus and food borne toxicants). Stickleback and zebra danio fish models (follow up to Bernhardt Ph.D.) It is becoming clear the fox may be a cumbersome and expensive model and we cannot dependent on it alone. Progress reports are dictated by: Alaska INBRE (twice a year) Faculty review processes Annual reviews (for IAB, B&W, and Dean) Promotion and Tenure documents
