Review Article: Experimental Chemical Carcinogenesis in Fish

Abstract

Tracie Eileen Bunton received a DVM degree from Michigan State University in 1977. After practicing small animal medicine for a year, she completed a combined Comparative Pathology residency/Ph.D. program in 1982 at the University of California at Davis. Her residency training included 3 yr at the California Regional Primate Research Center and, for her thesis, she studied the effects of glucocorticosteroids on lung development in the fetal rhesus macaque. Dr. Bunton spent 1982-1984 as an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, becoming a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists in 1983. In 1984 she joined the faculty of the Division of Comparative Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where she is now an Associate Professor, with adjunct faculty positions in the Department of Pathology and the Graduate Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine. Dr. Bunton's primary research interest is on mechanisms of toxicity and carcinogenesis in fish related to environmental contamination and on the development of alternative models.
