ESSENTIAL AND NON-ESSENTIAL ELEMENT BIOAVAILABILITY FROM SUBSISTENCE FOODS

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 生物医学研究重点在25个字或更少。野生动物毒理学实验室是污染物，健康和营养的生存使用和野生动物。我们并不纯粹是 研究 我们参与诊断/解决问题。 2006-2007财年实验室/研究计划： 五个博士学生总数和三个在WTL，没有一个是候选人，我们的重点是他们的研究。只有一名实验室经理（0.5 FTE）作为员工，这对Rhonda和我来说是一项艰巨的任务。 我们将专注于动物模型的开发，以评估阿拉斯加相关疾病和/或有毒物质的问题： 北极狐采样（圈养研究和自由放养动物采样），柯克和诺特博士。项目 北极地松鼠（评估传染性病原体和毒物相互作用的可能模型，与阿拉斯加相关的是肝炎病毒和食源性毒物）。 棘鱼和斑马鱼模型（跟进Bernhardt博士） 越来越明显的是，福克斯可能是一种笨重而昂贵的车型，我们不能仅仅依赖它。 进度报告由以下方面决定： 阿拉斯加INBRE（每年两次） 教师评审程序 年度审查（IAB、B&W和Dean） 晋升和任期文件

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
