Congratulations to the 2023 Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology (DART) Committee Professional Development Award recipients!

Mackenzie Connell, PhD Student
University of Florida, Florida, USA
Public and Environmental Health
Area of focus: Environmental stressors that affect organisms during critical reproductive windows

Bio: Mackenzie first joined the Warrior Aquatic, Translational, and Environmental Research (WATER) lab in 2017 while pursuing her B.S. in public health with a focus in life and pre-health sciences. She then went on to earn a Master of Public Health Degree from Wayne State University with a concentration in urban public health practice in Detroit, MI where reproductive health and birth outcomes are a major public health concern. Mackenzie has had the opportunity to learn about environmental health and contribute to epidemiological and toxicological research in her time with the WATER Lab, Michigan Antibiotic Resistance Reduction Coalition, and Henry Ford Health System. Combining her background and education in Public Health Analytics, Mackenzie plans to build on these foundational skills as she works toward her PhD in Public and Environmental Health at the University of Florida. Mackenzie has a passion for maternal and reproductive health and will continue to investigate the environmental stressors that affect organisms during critical reproductive windows.

Madeline Vera-Colón, PhD Candidate
UC Irvine, California, USA
Environmental Health Sciences
Area of focus: The effect of environmental toxins on osteogenic differentiation

Bio: Madeline Vera-Colón is a first-year PhD student in the Environmental Health Sciences program at UC Irvine. She works within the laboratory of Dr. Nicole Sparks, who is a new Assistant Professor studying how prenatal toxicant exposure may impact bone development. Madeline’s dissertation project encompasses the fields of developmental, molecular, and environmental toxicology. Madeline is a first generation Mexican American and college graduate in her family. She is passionate about promoting STEM careers to historically excluded groups. She is involved in many committees that share these same values. Madeline hopes to one day provide mentorship to the next generation of scientists and help promote diversity in her future career.

Working Groups

  • Adverse DART Effects Training Course

    This working group is organizing a series of webinar modules to train federal and international regulators, clinicians, academic investigators, contract research organization scientists, and private sector scientists on the best practices and principles of interpreting DART data in the context of regulatory frameworks and processes.

  • Anogenital Distance and Nipple Retention

    To promote harmonization of anogenital distance (AGD) and nipple/areola retention measurement in male rats, this project aims to publish a review of existing methods and recommend best practices and considerations for these two methods.

  • DARTable Genome

    This working group aims to enable better predictive toxicology for DART effects by sharing relevant knowledge of chemical-protein target interactions, pharmacokinetics, and major developmental toxicity study outcomes. To this end, the team has initiated two case studies on the well characterized teratogens, Retinoic Acid and Thalidomide.

  • DART NAMs/Alternatives

    This scoping group aims to create a new approach methodologies (NAMs) toolbox that will provide for and clarify the context of use for alternative assays that will comply with various regulatory guidelines so that they can ultimately validate for us as a NAM.

  • DART Trainee Program

    This new initiative aims to leverage the HESI DART Committee’s membership and technical work to facilitate career development (with a focus on training and networking) of the next generation of developmental toxicologists. The program(s) will be advertised outside of the traditional and well-established networks to expand our reach to individuals who belong to historically under-represented groups, thereby broadening the pool of trainees.

  • Dystocia

    The goal of the project is to survey labs using HanWister and Sprague Dawley rats in DART studies to understand if reproductive performance in the strain is waning/evolving. Team will publish findings on this analysis.

  • Immunomodulators and Pregnancy Risk

    This working group, in collaboration with the HESI Immuno-Safety Technical Committee (ITC), convened key stakeholders to discuss both current and novel methodologies in preclinical and translational safety assessment of pregnancy risk associated with immunomodulatory therapy. This group will sunset after the workshop publication is completed.

  • Juvenile Clinical Pathology Endpoints

    Clinical pathology data from control animals in previously conducted juvenile animal toxicity studies has been gathered. Data analysis is underway, and a manuscript that could be used as a reference across the industry is in development.

  • microCT

    This group strives to provide additional information and confidence that fetal skeletal examination using microCT is acceptable for regulatory use in nonclinical fetal evaluation studies. The study design and participants in a multi-site in vivo study comparing microCT and alizarin red staining is being finalized. Experimental work is anticipated to begin in 2022.

  • Preclinical Considerations for Pregnant and Lactating Women in Clinical Trials

    A points-to-consider manuscript is in development, outlining initial approaches to inclusion, the role of nonclinical data, and common practices during global drug development plans.

  • Preweaning Developmental Endpoints

    This project aims to define which preweaning developmental landmarks (PDLs) have value, interpretation, and benchmark responses through both a survey and data collection.

  • Pubertal Assessment

    The goal of this working group is to determine the degree of reliability and human relevance of in vitro rodent markers/assays for puberty timing endpoints by critically evaluating the epidemiological and toxicological literature on both normal development and altered development after exposures. A series of review articles are underway and anticipated to be completed in 2022.

  • QSAR Model of Rodent Placental Transfer

    This working group will collect data on a diverse set of compounds to increase the predictive power of a QSAR model for the prediction of placental transfer in rats; outputs from this model can be used as a tool to enhance the exposure based predictions of in vitro assays.

  • Thyroid Hormone Assessments

    In collaboration with the European Teratology Society, the joint working group has collected historical data on thyroid hormone measurement in rodent studies to determine best practices for these measurements.
