SUMMARY:The invisible anti-vaxxers: how pollution impacts your response to 
 vaccination
DESCRIPTION:Séminaire scientifique organisé par l'Institut de recherche e
 n santé publique de l'Université de Montréal – IRSPUM

\nRésumé :Many environmental chemicals are well-stu
 died in terms of their potential effects on reproductive and neurobehavior
 al outcomes\, but immune outcomes have received considerably less attentio
 n. Animals studies demonstrate that these exposures can lead to immune sup
 pression\, which results in an increased risk of infection. To overcome so
 me of the limitations inherent in measuring infection risk in human cohort
 s\, antibody “responses” to scheduled childhood vaccinations have been
  a convenient endpoint with which to interrogate potential immunotoxicity 
 in developmental studies of environmental exposures. This talk presents re
 sults from a birth cohort study in eastern Slovakia that examined several 
 chemical exposures (PCBs\, DDT\, and PFASs) in relation to vaccine respons
 e at age 6 months. Particular attention will be paid to associations betwe
 en these environmental exposures and antibody responses to BCG\, the vacci
 nation given to prevent tuberculosis.
\nConférencier :Dr. Todd Jusko\, i
 s an environmental epidemiologist and assistant professor at the Universit
 y of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester\, NY. His res
 earch focuses on how environmental chemicals contribute to adverse immunol
 ogical development over the entire lifespan. He is interested in the immun
 e system as both a disease endpoint (e.g.\, asthma\, lowered vaccine respo
 nse\, development of autoimmunity)\, and as a mechanism of susceptibility 
 for other disease outcomes\, such as neurobehavioral development. Dr. Jusk
 o trained at the University of Washington and completed a postdoctoral fel
 lowship in biomarker-based epidemiology at NIEHS\, NIH.

 versité de Montréal et chercheur régulier à l'IRSPUM.
