PharmaTox in Budapest

A group of 12 PharmaTox researchers attended the ENTIS conference in Budapest, September 2-5. 

We had three oral presentations: 

• Kristina Gervin: Long-term prenatal exposure to paracetamol is associated with DNA methylation differences in children with ADHD.

• Eivind Ystrøm: Paracetamol exposure in pregnancy and offspring ADHD: familial risk and confounding by indication.

• Anna Frank: Patterns and predictors of hypothyroid medication use in relation to pregnancy: a drug utilization study.

We also presented four posters: 

• Hedvig Nordeng (BichTroung): SafeStart - An intervention study to promote healthier pregnancies. 
• Mari Spildrejorde and Martin Falck: Human embryonic stem cells as a model for paracetamol induced epigenetic deregulation and neurotoxicity. 
• Gro C. Havnen: Treatment of multiple sclerosis during pregnancy and lactation - Updated national treatment guidelines in Norway. 
• Mussie Ghezu Hadera: Effects of methadone in the developing chicken embryo as a model of neurodevelopmental toxicity. 

We also arranged a great INTPART wokshop with our collaborators from Brazil (Lavínia Schüler-Faccini) and Russia (Ksenia Zagorodnikova).
