David Schwartz, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, has previewed a proposed $4 million program that will spur the development of new technologies to detect, measure, and track toxins both in people and in the environment. If all goes as planned, the Exposure Biology Initiative will develop sensor badges or bracelets to give researchers more precise data linking toxins to health. The plan also calls for techniques that will monitor protein-toxin interactions that may serve as early markers of problems, he reported at last week's Environmental Epigenomics Conference in Durham, North Carolina. Schwartz is setting up a meeting this winter to home in on specific goals, and he hopes to get the initiative up and running in 2006.
