Environmental Health Large Effects from Low Doses Hormones and Endocrine-disrupting Chemicals: Low-dose Effects and Nonmonotonic Dose Responses

I am an academic scientist who has worked for nine years on issues related to endocrine disruptors, including assessments of human exposures, meta-analyses of published literature, and benchwork assessing the effects of chemicals on development, behavior, reproduction, and other endpoints in rodents and aquatic animals. My PhD is in Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology, although my work is also well recognized in the field of Environmental Health Science. I have published more than 25 peer-reviewed studies and two book chapters and have served on expert scientific and risk assessment panels in the EU and the US. I was also the lead author on the most comprehensive review to date on low dose exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs; discussed in more detail below).
