Sudipta Dutta graduated with a PhD in Biology from Syracuse University in 2014. Currently, she is a senior postdoctoral researcher at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, working on endometriosis. She has over a decade of experience working on reproductive toxicology. She has co-authored over 7 peer-reviewed publications and conference papers. She is a member of the Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR).

Jaclyn Goodrich is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. She received her doctorate in toxicology from the University of Michigan and focused her postdoctoral training on environmental epidemiology and epigenomics. She is a co-leader of the DoGoodS-Pi environmental epigenetics laboratory. Her research program aims to identify environmental factors, including occupational and environmental sources, that contribute to disease susceptibility. Her research interests include the investigation of epigenetics as a potential mechanism linking exposures to adverse health outcomes.

Dana Dolinoy serves as Faculty Director of the Epigenomics Core at Michigan Medicine, as well as NSF International Chair of Environmental Health Sciences and Professor of Nutritional Sciences and Environmental Health Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. She leads the Environmental Epigenetics and Nutrition Laboratory, which investigates how nutritional and environmental factors interact with epigenetic gene regulation to shape health and disease. She holds a Ph.D. in Genetics and Genomics and Integrated Toxicology from Duke University, and an MSc in Public Health from Harvard University, and has served as Chair of the Gordon Research Conference in Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity. In 2011, she received the Norman Kretchmer Memorial Award from the American Society for Nutrition and the Classic Paper of the Year Award from Environmental Health Perspectives. In 2012, she was the recipient of the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH)/Pfizer Research Award for the article “An Expression Microarray Approach for the Identification of Metastable Epialleles in the Mouse Genome.” She received the 2015 NIH Director’s Transformative Research Award for developing novel epigenetic editing tools to reduce disease risk, and served as the Co-Chair of the 2016 meeting, ToxicoEpigenetics: The Interface of Epigenetics and Risk Assessment.

Douglas M Ruden is a Professor and Director of Epigenomics at the Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (Joint), Wayne State University. He graduated from Caltech in 1984 with B.S. degrees in biology and chemistry. He worked in the laboratories of Ed Lewis, the 1995 Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine for Hox genes, Eric Davidson, and Carl Parker. He received a Ph.D. from Harvard in Mark Ptashne's laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Herbert Jaeckle's laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular and Developmental Biology in Goettingen, Germany. He has had academic appointments at the University of Kansas (1994-2000), the University of Alabama at Birmingham (2000-2006), and Wayne State University (2006-present). His areas of interest include toxicogenomics of heavy metal exposure using Drosophila and human embryonic stem cell models.
