Biography
Ofelia A. Olivero has pioneered the elucidation of the genotoxicity induced in pregnant women by drugs taken to prevent HIV-1 vertical transmission. The health of women during pregnancy and the wellbeing of the newborn have been her focus and concern in the quest to understand the latent toxicities that can develop into disease later in life. Her contributions helped shape the observation that AZT and other nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors were responsible for DNA damage in utero and later induction of tumorigenesis in rodents. Areas of Expertise transplacental carcinogenesis, genotoxicity, nucleoside analogs, carcinogenesis
Research Interest
Ofelia A. Olivero is mainly interested in the field of Genotoxicity and has contributed a lot towards the same field. Her Areas of interest also include transplacental carcinogenesis, nucleoside analogs, carcinogenesis

Biography
Gerhard Eisenbrand is Professor Emeritus at the University of Kaiserslautern, Department of Chemistry, Division of Food Chemistry and Toxicology. His research waspublished in more than 350 peer reviewed scientific publications. He mainly focuses on mechanisms of actions of (geno) toxic and various anticancer agents, metabolism and biokinetics, recent and current research interactions of food constituents/contaminants with biomolecules in the organism, within the context of food safety and beneficial/ adverse effects relevant to human health, in experimental and human intervention studies. He was long acting (1995 to 2013) chair of the Senate Commission on Food Safety (SKLM) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) and is currently Scientific President of ILSI Europe.
Research Interest
Gerhard Eisenbrand’s fields of research interest include studies on mechanisms of actions of (geno) toxic and various anticancer agents, metabolism and biokinetics. His current research is upon interactions of food constituents/contaminants with biomolecules in the organism, within the context of food safety and beneficial/ adverse effects relevant to human health, in experimental and human intervention studies.
