Richard Eugene Peterson - Toxicology

Author Information

Dr. Richard Eugene Peterson is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the School of Pharmacy and the Molecular and Environmental Toxicology Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His extensive research is focused primarily on toxicology, with a specific interest in the impacts of various toxicants on biological systems. As a prominent figure in his field, Dr. Peterson’s contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of toxicological mechanisms and their implications on health.

Research Contributions

Dr. Peterson’s research portfolio is extensive and diverse, encompassing several critical areas within toxicology. His work includes the study of neuroanatomical mechanisms linking perinatal exposure to toxins like TCDD to urinary dysfunction in adulthood, the role of genetic background in susceptibility to hormone-induced urinary dysfunction, and the identification of biomarkers for glomerular injury. Additionally, his research also explores the synthesis and biological evaluation of compounds as agonists of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. His investigations provide valuable insights into the non-malignant mechanisms of urinary dysfunction exacerbated by in utero and lactational exposure to environmental toxins.
