Hugh A. Tilson, PhD | Editor-in-Chief, EHP
Hugh A. Tilson received his doctorate in 1971 from the University of Minnesota, where he was a U.S. Public Health Service trainee in psychopharmacology. His doctoral advisor, Dr. Sheldon Sparber, pioneered approaches to characterize neurochemical changes underlying the development of behavioral tolerance to central nervous system (CNS) active drugs such as psychomimetics and stimulants. From 1972 to 1973, Dr. Tilson served as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Pharmacology at Michigan State University. Working with Dr. Richard Rech, Dr. Tilson extended his research on the mechanisms of behavioral tolerance to psychoactive drugs. In 1973, he joined the Pharmacology Department at Bristol Laboratories, Syracuse, New York, as a senior research scientist. In that capacity, Dr. Tilson identified and developed psychotherapeutic drugs.
Dr. Tilson came to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in 1976 to help develop the Laboratory of Behavioral and Neurological Toxicology. One research theme of Dr. Tilson’s group was to develop approaches to characterize the behavioral effects of neurotoxic chemicals. Many such studies were conducted in collaboration with the National Toxicology Program. Another central theme of his research group was to understand compensatory cellular and neurochemical changes in the CNS following exposure to neurotoxic agents. This research led to the development of animal models using tissue implants and neurotrophic agents to promote recovery of function following experimentally induced CNS damage. Dr. Tilson’s group also utilized selective neurotoxic agents to study the role of the septo-hippocampal region of the brain in cognitive functions such as working and reference memory.
In 1989, Dr. Tilson became director of the Neurotoxicology Division at the Health Effects Research Laboratory in the Office of Research and Development (ORD) at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. From 2000 to 2005, he served as assistant laboratory director for human health research at the EPA National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory. In 2005, Dr. Tilson was named national program director for human health research for ORD. He joined Environmental Health Perspectives as editor-in-chief in November 2007.
Dr. Tilson has served on numerous academic and governmental advisory boards, including several committees associated with the International Programme for Chemical Safety of the World Health Organization. He has served on the editorial boards of several journals and as an associate editor for Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology and Neurotoxicology. During his career at the EPA, he received several awards, including 7 Bronze Medals, 1 Silver Medal, and 3 Scientific and Technology Achievement Awards.

In 1994 he became head of the Environmental and Alternative Systems Group. He led efforts to development and implement multidisciplinary approaches to assessing the impact of environmental contaminants. He studied molecular mechanisms and the developmental impact of complex environmental exposures in aquatic species and mammals. He has worked with federal, state and local environmental and public health agencies on issues and research associated with contamination of aquatic ecosystems. He has considerable experience in environmental chemistry and the issues that integrate human health and environmental degradation. He has been active in review of research initiatives sponsored by both the state and federal agencies.
In 2002 he joined EHP as science editor with a goal of continuing to improve both the scientific quality of the journal and the review process. He also identifies areas of current and future interest in environmental health research and takes an active role in soliciting submissions from ongoing research programs.
Burkhart has received several NIH merit awards and has been invited to publish on use of environmental sentinels for hazard identification and risk assessment.

Kenneth S. Korach, PhD | National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
Kenneth S. Korach is the program director of the Environmental Diseases and Medicine Program, chief of the Laboratory of Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology, and chief of the Receptor Biology Section at the NIEHS. He received his PhD degree in endocrinology from the Medical College of Georgia in 1974. His doctoral advisor was the late Thomas Muldoon, in whose laboratory he characterized biochemical properties of estrogen receptors in the pituitary and hypothalamus.
From 1973 to 1976, Dr. Korach was a postdoctoral biological chemistry research fellow at Harvard Medical School in the laboratory of the late professor Lewis Engel, where he developed steroidal affinity and photoaffinity substrate reagents for characterizing the human placental estradiol dehydrogenase enzyme. He also received a Ford Research Fellowship award while at Harvard. Dr. Korach joined the NIEHS in 1976, where he has headed a research group investigating the basic mechanisms of estrogen hormone action in reproductive tract and bone tissues with an application toward understanding how hormonally active environmental estrogens influence physiological processes. During this time Dr. Korach has studied the role of the estrogen receptor in mediating hormonal responses in uterine tissue; characterized estrogen receptor and hormonal responsiveness during early development; described the coupling of growth factor and nuclear receptor signaling pathways; investigated estrogen carcinogenesis and toxicity; and created mouse lines using different transgenic technologies and gene targeting strategies for evaluating the role of the estrogen receptor in endocrine regulation and hormonal carcinogenesis.
Dr. Korach was an editor for Endocrinology, the flagship journal of the American Endocrine Society, and is the past editor-in-chief of the journal. He holds multiple adjunct professorships in the Department of Molecular Toxicology as well as Biochemistry at North Carolina State University, in Pharmacology at the University of North Carolina Medical School, and in Pharmacology and Cancer Biology at Duke University Medical School.
