A new position statement from The Endocrine Society provides a strong argument for scientists in industry, government, and academia to work together, across disciplines, to improve testing of chemicals as potential endocrine disruptors. Published ahead of print in Endocrinology on 25 June 2012, the statement focuses on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) to illustrate how fundamental endocrinology principles might be incorporated into more rigorous screens for endocrine activity. But according to lead author R. Thomas Zoeller, a biology professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, the need for broader consideration of endocrinology extends to screening programs beyond the EDSP.
