Research
- *Occupational toxicology and risk assessment*
Johan Högberg is chairman for the Swedish Criteria Group which produces risk
assessment documents used for setting legally binding occupational exposure
limits in Sweden.
Current projects involve the development of sensitive endpoints in the
p53/Mdm2 network for certain types of DNA damages and for mixtures of
compounds and mixtures of tumor initiators and tumor promoters such as TCDD
and PCBs. We also study rapid changes in the Akt signaling pathway and how
knowledge about this pathway can be utilized for the development of cancer
preventive strategies in e.g. the prostate.
In international collaboration we develop methods for integrated risk
assessment and risk assessment of complex mixtures. Ongoing projects involve
an analysis of cancer deaths classified as work related. Our question is how
often these cancers can be attributed to a single chemical or to a complex
mixture of chemicals. We also develop simplified models for rapid screening
of risks associated with the use of chemicals.
