I have an M.S. and Ph.D. in microbiology from George Washington University, and a J.D. from North Carolina Central University. I was the US FDA for seven years and then at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, in Research Triangle Park, NC, for 24 years, until retiring in December 2000. From April 1999 through June 2000, I was assigned as a consultant to the Environmental Directorate of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris, France, where I wrote and edited health effects Test Guidelines and Guidance Documents, and helped manage the OECD's in vivo endocrine disruptor assay validation program. Since January 2001, I have served as an independent consultant to organizations in the US, Canada, and Europe.
I have more than more than 30 years experience in biology and toxicology as a laboratory researcher, project director, and scientific program manager. My career concentrated on the design and direction of laboratory validation studies to determine the effectiveness of short-term genetic toxicity tests and develop standardized test protocols; the evaluation, interpretation, and integration of toxicological test data; the use of short-term, genetic toxicity tests to predict chronic effects; structure-activity relationships in muta¬genicity and carcinogenicity; and the study of mechanisms of chemical mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. I was a charter member of ICCVAM and chaired the working group that prepared its Validation Workgroup, and was a participant and contributor to the OECD Guidance Document on Test Validation. I am a member of a number of scientific societies and serve or have served on a number of editorial boards (including Mutation Research, Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, and Environmental Health Perspectives), was Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal, Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, and was co-editor and contributor to the 1997 Handbook of Carcinogenic Potency and Genotoxicity Databases.
