Medical Toxicology in Industry Webinar: One Health: People, Animals and the Environment, Indivisible
Sponsored by MTF and Bayer
Medical Toxicology in Industry Webinar:
One Health: People, Animals and the Environment, IndivisibleThursday, October 23, 2025
2:00-3:00 PM ETJoin ACMT on Thursday, October 23rd for a Bayer-sponsored Medical Toxicology in Industry webinar featuring ACMT Affiliate member Dr. Sandra James-Yi on "One Health: People, Animals and the Environment, Indivisible." This session will explore the critical role veterinarians play in safeguarding public health and food safety through veterinary toxicology, emphasizing the identification and impact of toxicants that threaten animals, humans, and the environment. Dr. James-Yi, with her extensive experience in comparative biomedical science, toxicologic pathology, and global food safety, will share her expertise in assessing risks across human, animal, and environmental health. Attendees will gain valuable insights into preventing harm from toxicant exposure and learn actionable strategies to promote the One Health approach. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a leading expert in veterinary and environmental toxicology!
Learning Objectives:
- The webinar will demonstrate and provide insight into how Veterinarians provide significant support to public health and food safety through Veterinary Toxicology.
- An emphasis will be placed on the identification and pathogenesis of toxicants that are not solely of veterinary importance but could also be an indicator of potential harm to people, the environment, and the food and water supply.
- To provide a resource for educating others in the prevention of harm from toxicant exposure in animals, people, and the environment (One Health).
About the Medical Toxicology in Industry Virtual Fellows Program
Sponsored by Bayer and the MTF, this program provides medical toxicology fellows with a unique opportunity to explore the role of industry in toxicology. Participants gain insight into product development, from R&D and regulatory approval to market launch and post-market stewardship. The rotation helps bridge the gap between academia and industry, fostering a deeper understanding of the regulatory landscape and career pathways in this sector.This webinar is free and open to the public.

After completing her Medical Toxicology fellowship at NYU in 2006, she returned to Washington University in St. Louis, where she established an ACGME-accredited fellowship in Medical Toxicology. Over the next decade, Dr. Lockwood became deeply engaged in global health and humanitarian efforts. She organized a relief mission to Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, founded the Global Health Scholar Track within the Washington University Division of Emergency Medicine, and serves as one of the Global Health Scholars for the Department of Internal Medicine. Recognizing the need for sustainable solutions in global health, particularly around malnutrition and insect-borne diseases—two prevalent public health issues in developing countries—Dr. Lockwood began working as the Medical Affairs Lead for Bayer. In this role, she focuses on leveraging innovative agricultural and chemical technologies to address these critical challenges. Dr. Lockwood has lectured extensively, both nationally and internationally, on a wide array of topics in medical toxicology and global health.

Director, Product Safety Compliance & Outreach
Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc.
Dr. Sandra James-Yi, DVM, PhD, DABT, DABVT, is a Veterinary Medical Physician and Toxicologist. She is a Diplomat of the American board of Toxicology and the American Board of Veterinary Toxicology. As a toxicologist, Dr. James-Yi is experienced in comparative biomedical science, toxicologic pathology, and systems and environmental toxicology used in solving the challenges of assessing risk, in a matrixed environment, for the protection of human, animal and environmental health. After veterinary school she practiced in Hawaii as an ambulatory, mixed animal practitioner. Upon moving back to the “mainland” she worked for many years in the Chicagoland area as an emergency-critical care practioner and a small and exotic animal veterinary clinician and surgeon. Prior to the arrival of West Nile Virus in the early 2000’s, and with the veterinary community across the country preparing as it moved across the country from the east coast, she helped establish an ad hoc committee in her city to assess and develop a more expansive and effective mosquito abatement program. After seeing the public health results, Dr. James-Yi decided to obtain a Doctor of Philosophy in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in entomology, acarology, aquatic ecosystems, and integrated pest management for the prevention of vector-borne disease(s). After completion of her PhD, she obtained post-doctoral training at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Comparative sciences, Systems Toxicology, and Pathobiology; Study Director training at Covance Laboratories in Madison, Wisconsin, for preclinical studies for drug development; and the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Masonic Cancer Center, in the Comparative Pathology laboratory. Dr. James-Yi has held faculty positions at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech), Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg, Virginia. In each position, she developed the toxicology curricula for professional and graduate students; was involved in collaborative research; and provided public health and extension services. Currently she has been working for industry, primarily in Global Food Safety, with a focus on ingredient and end product risk assessment, ingredient supply chains, product misuse, and identification and protection of vulnerable populations.

Element 64 (Gadolinium): The Lee Harvey Oswald of Cellular Biology
Element 64 (Gadolinium): The Lee Harvey Oswald of Cellular Biology
Join ACMT on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at 12 PM ET for an exclusive National Grand Rounds featuring Dr. Brent Wagner. A leading expert in nephrogenic systemic fibrosis and gadolinium retention, Dr. Wagner will share insights from his groundbreaking research on Gadolinium Deposition Disease, a condition linked to the use of MRI contrast agents in patients with impaired renal function. This session will explore the clinical implications, pathophysiology, and evolving understanding of gadolinium-related complications.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the physiological elemental composition of the milieu intérieur, (and realize that gadolinium is alien to it).
- Examine the diagnostic criteria for ‘nephrogenic’ systemic fibrosis (and realize that neither renal insufficiency nor gadolinium exposure are required)
- Describe The Albuquerque Hypothesis as presented: Magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents are degraded into gadolinium-rich nanoparticles (in accordance with Le Chatelier’s Principal) intracellularly. These intracellular rare earth metal-laden sediments may explain the constellation of complications.
About The Series: ACMT's Grand Rounds offer an in-depth and interactive platform for learning and discussion about issues that impact the research and practice of medical toxicology. Experts from within and outside medical toxicology will share their knowledge and experience and highlight areas for collaboration and mutual understanding.
This webinar is for ACMT members only.
