CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM:WORKSHOP ON

“THE USE OF ‘OMICS’ IN HUMAN HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT”by

Elaine M. FaustmanUniversity of Washington, U.S.A.

09:00 Welcome and Introductions09:15 Overview - The “Omic” Revolution

The overview will provide background information to understand the central paradigmof the connection between DNA, RNA, and proteins in the functioning of cells andorganisms. This session will include a brief introduction to transcription and translationand the flow of information from genes to functional protein. We will provide a definitionof “omics and new “omic” technologies will be discussed including genomics,

10:00 The “Omic” Revolution’s impact on ToxicologyThe use of “omic” tools in toxicology is providing new ways to understand the impactof environmental exposures of toxicants on living organisms. We will review examplesof how these tools are used to understand toxicological response at the molecular,cellular, organ and organism levels. We will also look at their use in definingmechanisms of toxicity and susceptibility.

11:00 Current Applications in Risk AssessmentExamples of how information from “omic” tools can be incorporated into human healthrisk assessment (for example mode of action assessments) will be discussed. Theimportance of understanding the sources of variability in applying “omic” tools will beemphasized. Approaches and issues related to data analysis, experimental design,and bioinformatics will be discussed.

12:00 Future Direction and Current Cases and Policies for Use of GenomicInformation: Lessons LearnedWe will look at current cases, policies and practices for incorporating informationfrom “omic” tools into Risk Assessment at two Federal agencies, USEPA and USFDAand will identify lessons learned from these experiences. Applicability to other agenciesand countries will be discussed.

13:00 Closing Remarks

Learning Objectives:1. To introduce techniques of genomics, proteomics and metabolomics for the evaluation of DNA,

RNA, proteins and metabolism.2. To understand the types of information resulting from “omic” evaluations.3. To learn about statistical and experimental design issues for “omic” evaluations.4. To become familiar with examples of how “omic” information is being used in toxicology.5. To understand both the promises as well as challenges in using “omic” information in risk

assessment.6. To briefly review case examples using “omic” information to inform risk assessments including

informing mode of action.7. To discuss challenges and lessons learned in developing policies and practices for incorporating

“omic” information into risk assessments at U.S. EPA and U.S. FDA. To determine how theseexperiences may extrapolate to other applications.
