Peer-Reviewed
Publications

Open access, peer-reviewed publications ensure that knowledge is a public good. HESI believes that accessible research is critical for equitable engagement, diverse collaboration, and increased interdisciplinary conversation. We strive to achieve open access on all publications, and more than 200 publications from HESI programs have been published in the last decade.

Qualitative Approach to Comparative Exposure in Alternatives Assessment

Most alternatives assessments (AAs) published to date are largely hazard‐based rankings, thereby ignoring potential differences in human and/or ecosystem exposures; as such, they may not represent a fully informed consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of possible alternatives. Building on the 2014 US ...

Protein and Lipid Binding Parameters in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) Blood And Liver Fractions to Extrapolate From an In Vitro Metabolic Degradation Assay to In Vivo Bioaccumulation Potential of Hydrophobic Organic Chemicals

Binding of hydrophobic chemicals to colloids such as proteins or lipids is difficult to measure using classical microdialysis methods due to low aqueous concentrations, adsorption to dialysis membranes and test vessels, and slow kinetics of equilibration.

Protease Resistance of Food Proteins: A Mixed Picture For Predicting Allergenicity but a Useful Tool for Assessing Exposure

Susceptibility to pepsin digestion of candidate transgene products is regarded an important parameter in the weight-of-evidence approach for allergenicity risk assessment of genetically modified crops. It has been argued that protocols used for this assessment should better reflect physiological ...

Problem Formulation for Risk Assessment of Combined Exposures to Chemicals and Other Stressors in Humans

When the human health risk assessment/risk management paradigm was developed, it did not explicitly include a “problem formulation” phase. The concept of problem formulation was first introduced in the context of ecological risk assessment (ERA) for the pragmatic reason to constrain and focus ERAs on the key questions. ...
