Dr. Dellinger will be summarizing the relationship between chemical contaminant risks and the health benefits of fish consumption. This issue has been a contentious item of debate in the upper Great Lakes region for several decades.

Currently, in addition to his faculty appointment as a professor in the College of Health Sciences, Dr. Dellinger is serving in his 8th year as the Program Director for the Great Lakes Native American Research Center for Health (NIH/IHS funded), and for a decade he has served as one of four U.S. representatives on the International Joint Commission's Health Professional Task Force. The IJC has primary policy jurisdiction over the North American Great Lakes and recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Great Lakes Water Treaty between the U.S. and Canada.
