I would like to thank the Executive
Committee, our Committee Chairs, ourvolunteer committee members and additional
specialty section members for your support
and for the outstanding progress that wasmade this past year. It has been a wonderful
opportunity and tremendous honor to serve

2012-2013
Specialty Section President.
Hopefully, together with the rest of the Executive Committee, wehave had a positive impact on the Specialty Section this year. We
had a very successful SOT meeting in San Antonio with several
high-quality sponsored sessions presented at a time when theacceptance rate for proposals continues to be very competitive.
We continued the International Exchange with the JapaneseSociety of Immunotoxicology (JSIT); Henk van Loveren and
Emanuela Corsini presented at the 2012 JSIT meeting. We also
were successful at obtaining Global Matching Funds from SOT for
this effort. Our Endowment Fund which supports the HESI
Immunotoxicology Young Investigator Travel Award grew this year
and currently has permanently restricted assets of $42,403 (April2013) up $3300 from the previous year. I encourage each of you
to consider making a donation to this fund to help it grow andprovide increased funding for young investigators to attend the
SOT meeting (http://www.toxicology.org/ai/csot/contribute.asp).
Congratulations to our incoming officers Rafael Ponce (VP-Elect),
Haley Neff-LaFord (Secretary-Treasurer) and Jamie DeWitt(Junior Councilor).

Immunotoxicology Specialty Section

For 2013, I’m committed to seeing the Specialty Section move forward with a Contemporary
Concepts in Toxicology (CCT) proposal that could help generate revenue for our section. A
core group of specialty section members are working on a draft proposal, which we hope tosubmit to SOT this summer. Finally, I look forward to continued service in the role of Past
President on the Executive Committee and to the upcoming year with Gary Burleson as our
SS President. I hope to see each of you at next year’s SOT Meeting in Phoenix!

Out-going President, Immunotoxicology Specialty Section

Incoming President’s Message
It is with great pride, honor, and trepidation that I begin my term as
President of the Immunotoxicology Specialty Section (ITSS). I follow many
who have held this office with honor and will continue to uphold these highstandards. I especially thank Greg Ladics, Past President, for his
leadership. I am looking forward to working with an excellent Executive
Committee during the 2013-2014 year: Danuta Herzyk (Vice President),
RafaelPonce(Vice
President-elect),Haley
Neff-LaFord(Secretary/Treasurer), Greg Ladics (Past President), Peyton Myers (SeniorCouncilor), Jamie DeWitt (Junior Councilor) and Kinta Serve (Postdoctoral
Representative).

Dr. Gary Burleson
President, ImTox SS
2013-2014

The Executive Committee will discuss issues of interest to the ITSS at monthly
teleconferences on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. We will be formulating the
Immunotoxicology Specialty Section Goals for 2013-2014 and submit them for publication in
the next newsletter.
The ITSS is a strong and vital Specialty Section. We had a total of 17 submissions for topics
to be presented at the 2013 meeting in San Antonio. This was 7 more than any otherSpecialty Section. Another tangible measure of the increased interest in immunotoxicology isreflected in the number of ITSS members listed in the 2012-2013 Membership Directory.
While I remember the pride I felt as Membership Chairman when we reached 200 members,
ITSS now has 374 members and is in the top 5 of all 27 Specialty Sections.
This rapid
growth has occurred in a relatively short period of time compared to the other Toxicology
Specialty areas.
Immunotoxicology was born in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s and has matured as a field in
the past 30 years. The field is now well established and still growing, but it is time to takestock and define who we are, where we are going, and what we need to do to get there. I
would like to challenge our membership and task the Executive Committee in 2013-2014 withthese issues, in order to develop or confirm a path forward for continued growth of the ITSS.

Student & Postdoctoral Report

Hi students and postdoctoral members of Immunotoxicology specialty section. I hope you arehaving a wonderful (and productive) summer.
There are a few changes in leadership I want to make you aware of. First, I will be moving fromthe student representative to the postdoctoral representative position for the upcoming year
(2013-2014). This means that there is an opening for a new graduate student representative. If
you are interested in filling this position (2013-2015 appointment), please check your email for theofficial announcement or contact me directly for the information (servkint@isu.edu). Lastly, I
would like to thank our out-going postdoctoral representative, Teri Girtsman, for a job well donethese past two years!
I would also like to thank everyone who made it to the big Student/Postdoc mixer during the 52 nd
SOT meeting in San Antonio. We had a wonderful turn out and lots of fun. Additionally, we had
an ImmunoTox SS mixer at the Hilton lounge just prior to the annual ImmunoTox reception andaward ceremony. Although the turnout was small, we had a great time and some good discussionof ways for students and postdocs to get more involved in the specialty section. If you would liketo join us this year and participate in organizing/planning any events or if you have any questions,please feel free to contact me at servkint@isu.edu. We would love to have everyone’s
involvement!

Member Spotlight – Dr. Scott Burchiel

The University of New Mexico Research Policy Committee
selected Scott Burchiel as the 58th Annual Research Lecturer
earlier this year. According to UNM Today the Annual Research Lecturer
award is one of the highest honors the University of New Mexico can bestow
on a faculty member. Dr. Burchiel was nominated by his peers for thisaward. He is the Nunzio and Sherolyn DeSantis Endowed Chair of
Pharmacogenomics and Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology in the
Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. He also serves as the Associate
Dean for Research in the College of Pharmacy in addition to many otherpositions.
Congratulations Dr. Burchiel on this outstanding achievement!

JOB OPPORTUNITIESWe are starting a new section to benefit anyone who is looking for a
new job or a career transition. If you are aware of a job opening in thespecific area of Immunotoxicology that you would like to see posted
here, please email the details to Ashwini Phadnis-Moghe atphadnisa@msu.edu. We will update this section in the upcoming
newsletters and also post them online on our website.
Employers who have job openings in Immunotoxicology and related sub-disciplines and would
like to advertise them in our newsletter cansend the information to us in this format.

2013 Awards Committee Report
Submitted by: Jean C. Pfau, Ph.D.
Recognizing the scientific contributions of our students and colleagues is, in my opinion, one of
the most important things we do. It not only recognizes their efforts, but also publicizes theaccomplishments of our Specialty Section toward the mission of SOT. The ISS Awards
Committee was proud to award this year’s winners at the reception during the SOT Annual
Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. The scientific quality of the submissions was excellent, andthe decisions were, as always, very challenging! We want to thank everyone who submitted
nominations, bringing forward the best papers, best presentations, and some of our finest
researchers. Please plan ahead for nominations for next year. We did not receive any
nominations this year for Best Postdoctoral Trainee, so I especially encourage you to nominate
for next year a special postdoctoral researcher that you feel deserves recognition. Watch foremails soliciting those nominations next fall. I would like to thank the Awards Committee for
their efforts, and especially Peyton Myers who not only helped me a tremendous amount withthe process, but also was our esteemed photographer! Most of all, congratulations to thewinners of these distinguished awards!
