Raimo Pohjanvirta, PhD, is Professor of Toxicology at the University of Helsinki. He has been studying the effects and action mechanisms of dioxins for over twenty years, publishing over a hundred peer-reviewed papers on dioxins and AHR. Dr. Pohjanvirta has been an invited lecturer at major international conferences, including the Society of Toxicology, EUROTOX, and the British Toxicology Society.

13. Nongenomic route of action of TCDD: Identity, characteristics and toxicological significance (Fumio Matsumura).
14. Inter-species heterogeneity in the hepatic transcriptomic response to AHR activation by dioxin (Paul Boutros).
15. Dioxin-activated AHR: toxic responses and the induction of oxidative stress (Sidney J. Stohs and Ezdihar A. Hassoun).
16. Dioxin-activated AHR and cancer in laboratory animals (Dieter Schrenk and Martin Chopra).
17. Teratogenic impact of dioxin-activated AHR in laboratory animals (Barbara D. Abbott).
18. The developmental toxicity of dioxin to the developing male reproductive system in the rat; relevance of the AHR for risk assessment (David R. Bell).
19. TCDD, AHR and immune regulation (Nancy I. Kerkvliet).
20. Effects of dioxins on teeth and bone: the role of AHR (Matti Viluksela, Hanna M. Miettinen and Merja Korkalainen).

22. Adverse Health Outcomes Caused By Dioxin-Activated AHR in Humans (Sally S. White, Suzanne E. Fenton, and Linda S. Birnbaum).
23. The toxic equivalency principle and its application in dioxin risk assessment (Jouko Tuomisto).
24. AHR-active compounds in the human diet (Stephen Safe, Gayathri Chadalapaka and Indira Jutooru).
25. Modulation of AHR function by heavy metals and disease states (Anwar Anwar-Mohammed and Ayman O.S. El-Kadi).
26. Transgenic mice with a constitutively active AHR: a model for human exposure to dioxin an other AHR ligands (Patrik Andersson, Sara Brunnberg, Carolina Wejheden, Lorenz Poellinger and Annika Hanberg).
D. AHR as a physiological regulator.
27. Structural and functional diversification of AHRs during metazoan evolution (Mark E. Hahn and Sibel I. Karchner).
28. Invertebrate AHR homologs: Ancestral functions in sensory systems (Jo Anne Powell-Coffman and Hongtao Qin).
29. Role of AHR in the development of the liver and blood vessels (Sahoko Ichihara).
30. Involvement of the AHR in cardiac function and regulation of blood pressure (Jason A. Scott and Mary K. Walker).
