Gilman Veith received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin and began his government career in 1972 at the National Water Quality Laboratory in Duluth, Minnesota, where he held a number of supervisory positions including the longest serving Laboratory Director. He also served as the Associate Director for Ecology of the US EPA National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina for seven years. Veith has published extensively in the use of QSAR in regulatory risk assessment, a record which has produced Citation Classics and gold medals from industry, governmental and international professional organizations. Following his retirement from US EPA, Veith assisted in the creation of the nonprofit International QSAR Foundation to Reduce Animal Testing (IQF) to advance a vision for predictive toxicology in safety assessment. The IQF promotes non-testing alternative methods and partnerships among experts which are generally beyond the scale normally considered by individual industries or government agencies.
