Chemical Insights Research Institute Scientist Wins ‘Best Publication Award’

Xiaojia He, PhD wins research award from the Society of Toxicology for his work on the effects of vanadium pentoxide

Dr. Xiaojia He, a research scientist at Chemical Insights Research Institute, a unit of UL Research Institutes, has been recognized with a Best Publication Award by the Society for Toxicology’s Exposure Specialty Section (ESS) for his paper “Low-dose Vanadium Pentoxide Perturbed Lung Metabolism Associated with Inflammation and Fibrosis Signaling in Male Animal and In Vitro Models.” This research appeared in the American Journal of Physiology – Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology. 

In an upcoming webinar, Dr. He will discuss his research findings on the effects of vanadium, used as a steel alloy and a dietary supplement, on mammalian metabolism when concentrations are found in food and water. An important industrial compound, vanadium pentoxide (V⁺⁵), when ingested at low levels, could alter metabolism and contribute to common human lung diseases.

Dr. He will be giving a webinar to discuss this award-winning research on Thursday, April 10, 2025, from 12:00 to 1:00 P.M.  You can register for this free webinar here.
