Assessing Cr(VI) Neurotoxicity with a Toxic Aging Coin Perspective

The world is facing a paradigm shift in its population structure, come 2030 ~20% of the population in developed nations will be geriatric. While this will strain our economic and medical capacities, we also have a detrimental lack of knowledge for the toxicology of aging. Dr. Wise will present his concept of a "Toxic Aging Coin" which he uses to describe his approach to investigating the intersection of toxicology and aging. He will then discuss how he applies this approach to his ongoing research investigating the neurotoxicity of hexavalent chromium (Cr[VI]).
