Toxicants - The Gastrointestinal Ecosystem & Health | David Quig, PhD

IAOMT Spring Conference in Dallas, TX
March 6, 2020

Learning Objectives:
1. Recognize the impact of certain toxicants to adversely alter gastrointestinal microbiota
profiles.
2. Discuss mechanisms by which toxicant-induced disruption of the microbiota affect intestinal
barrier function and health.
3. Describe how microbiota-dependent metabolism of toxicants modulate toxicity for the host.

Dr. David Quig received his BS and MS degrees in Human Nutrition from Virginia Tech and his
PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from the University of Illinois. After a five-year stint as a
Research Associate studying lipid biochemistry and cardiovascular disease at Cornell University,
he was a Senior Cardiovascular Pharmacologist for seven years. For the past 23 years, Dr. Quig
has been the Vice President of Scientific Support for Doctor’s Data, Inc. His focus is on toxic
elements, methylation and amino acid metabolism, the applied biochemistry of endogenous
detoxification, and the influence of the gastrointestinal microbiota on health.
