CHE Fertility Call - Looking Forward: Chemicals Impacts to Future Generations

This call took place on Tuesday, April 15 @ 9:30 AM Pacific / 11:30 AM Central / 12:30 PM Eastern time, and was a discussion about emerging science on transgenerational effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals.

We heard presentations on recent findings of ovarian cancer in the granddaughters of women who took Diethylstilbestrol (DES) while pregnant; of reproductive health problems found in mice exposed to PCBs; and what these studies mean for the broader environmental reproductive health field. 

Speakers included:

  • Elizabeth Hatch, PhD, Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Boston University, School of Public Health
  • Andrea Gore, PhD, Professor, College of Pharmacy, Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Texas at Austin
  • Pete Myers, PhD, CEO, Environmental Health Sciences
