Developed a mechanistically-based approach for regulating an
essential trace element for an international trade
association. Tasks have included preparing position
papers on risks of essential elements, presentations to and
meetings with US and EU regulators, preparation of EU-based
risk assessments, and working with trade association members
and academic molecular biologists to develop a coordinated
research program integrating epidemiology, clinical
medicine, traditional toxicology and molecular studies to
aid in developing a biologically-based risk assessment for
deficiency and excess.
Designed and developed a database used by an multinational
food company that tracks toxicological activity and
allowable residue values for pesticides on fresh fruits and
vegetables.
Prepared summary white papers on the state-of-the-science
for endocrine disruptors for various US and international
industry groups (US, Canada, Australia, EU).
For a manufacturer of specialty chemicals, performed a
complete review of toxicological and exposure data to
develop a risk-based strategy for world-wide strategic
regulatory policy for occupational exposures.
Provided ad hoc technical expertise to a large
multi-national food company on issues related to both worker
and consumer safety.
