the cutting edge of endocrine disrupter research

the 5th anniversary symposium on the environment and hormones

We contend that the phenomenon known as endocrine disruption is a manifestation of a larger biological issue ­ that is, the complex signaling networks that exist within and between organisms. These signaling networks can be maintained or perturbed by environmental factors. At e.hormone we intend to develop the tools for a new science of environmental signaling and introduce participants to the Environmental Signaling Network (an NSF-sponsored activity).

Themes of the meeting are:
1) environmental systems biology
2) fetal and childhood patterning, and
3) hormones and pharmaceuticals in water.
