James E Klaunig, Ph.D. Fellow ATS, IATP, AAAS Professor Emeritus Indiana University Dr. Klaunig received his B.S. degree in Biology from Ursinus College in 1973, a M.A. in Biology from Montclair State University in 1976 and a Ph.D. in Pathology from the University of Maryland in 1980 (mentor Benjamin F Trump). He did postdoctoral work for two years at the Medical University of Ohio in Toledo, Ohio (with Gary Stoner). This led to his first faculty position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology at the Medical University of Ohio in 1982. In 1986, he was promoted to Associate Professor of Pathology with tenure and Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Therapeutics with tenure. From 1990-1991, he did sabbatical work at the Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology (CIIT) in North Carolina (with James Popp). In 1991, he was offered and accepted the position of Professor of Toxicology at the Indiana University School of Medicine in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. He was also appointed as the State Toxicologist for the State of Indiana and named Director of the Toxicology at IU and Director of the Indiana State Department of Toxicology, the latter providing forensic toxicology services to the State of Indiana. In 2006, he was named the Robert Forney Professor of Toxicology at Indiana University School of Medicine. In 2010, he was recruited as the Professor and Chair of the Department of Environmental Health at the newly formed School of Public Health at Indiana University Bloomington. In 2012, he returned to the full-time professorial rank and he was also awarded Adjunct Appointment in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Dr. Klaunig’s research has focused on understanding the toxicological and pathological effects of chemical agents including pharmaceuticals. His work has concentrated primarily in the area of chemically induced carcinogenesis with particular interest in the mechanisms by which agents induce liver and lung cancer. A foundation of his mechanistic studies has been the application of these results to further understanding and producing scientifically based human risk assessment. His research involves the application of systems biology, pathology and toxicology and is highly hypothesis driven His laboratory has been continually funding since 1984. Since joining Indiana University in 1991, he has been responsible for the acquisition of over $30 million in extramural funding as a Principal Investigator. His funding sources have been from the Department of Defense, NIH, US EPA, the State of Indiana and corporate sources. The Klaunig Lab Laboratory (klauniglab.com) has produced over 250 peer-reviewed papers, as well as numerous meeting abstracts and 36 book chapters. His chapter on carcinogenesis in the standard graduate textbook for toxicology (Casarett and Doull), is read by the majority of graduate and post-doctoral students in the field of toxicology. His publications are highly referenced and cited as is evident by his designation in 2013 as a highly cited author in pharmacology and toxicology by the Thomson Reuters’. This honor ranks him in the top 133 authors that published in the field of pharmacology and toxicology during the 2002-2012 timespan. An updated analysis in 2016 has shown he remains (2004 to 2014) as a highly cited author (http://hcr.stateofinnovation.thomsonreuters.com/).

He initiated and developed the Ph.D. and Master’s program in Toxicology at the Medical University of Toledo. Upon coming to Indiana University School of Medicine, he revitalized the Ph.D. and Master’s program in Toxicology that was originally founded by Dr. Robert Forney and upon his arrival to the School of Public Health at IU Bloomington he developed and initiated the Ph.D. program in Environmental Health. Dr. Klaunig has taught graduate students, medical students, applied health students, public health students and undergraduate students throughout his career. Dr. Klaunig has mentored over 50 graduate and post-doctoral fellows, most of who have gone on to leadership positions in academic, government and industry. He was the first faculty member from the School of Public Health/HPER to offer a course at the IU Honors College (toxicology and Society). His teaching has been recognized by his awarding of the IU Trustee’s Teaching Award in 2005. He has also been active in education outside of the university setting, as is evident by his election to and tenure on the Society of Toxicology Education Committee and his service as the chair of that committee during his final year of service. Dr. Klaunig has served both his ac
