Author Information
Allan B. Okey is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His work is particularly focused on the field of toxicology, with a strong emphasis on understanding the genetic and molecular responses to environmental toxins. His research is crucial for advancing knowledge in toxicogenomics and understanding the mechanisms of toxicity at the genomic level.Research Contributions
Allan B. Okey has made significant contributions to the field of toxicology, concentrating on the effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a prototype dioxin, on various biological systems. His research involves comparative genomics and transcriptomics to identify TCDD-resistance genes, particularly in murine and rat models. He has explored the transcriptomic responses in different tissues, such as the liver, white adipose tissue, and hypothalamus, to understand the molecular pathways and candidate mediators of toxicity. His work has provided valuable insights into the dysregulation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) target genes, contributing to a deeper understanding of the toxicological impact of environmental pollutants.Aliases
Allan B. Okey is referenced by several aliases in scientific literature, including Allan B Okey, A. B. Okey, A. Okey, Allan Okey, and A B Okey. These variations acknowledge the different ways his name appears across publications and databases.Publication and Citation Metrics
