Plenary Speakers
Russell S. Thomas, Ph.D.
Director, Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure, Environmental Protection Agency
Dr. Rusty Thomas directs the Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure. Dr. Thomas’ area of expertise is in the application of high-throughput and high data content approaches to chemical toxicity testing. Prior to coming to the U.S. EPA, Dr. Thomas worked as an investigator and the director of the Institute for Chemical Safety Sciences at The Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences.
Mark Cronin, Ph.D.
Professor, Cheminformatics Research Group, Liverpool John Moores University
Dr. Mark Cronin is Professor of Predictive Toxicology at the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, United Kingdom. He has over 30 years expertise in the application of in silico approaches to predict the toxicity and fate of chemicals; in addition to development of strategies to develop alternatives to whole animal testing for toxicity. Current research includes the application of chemical grouping and read-across to assess human health and environmental endpoints, particular the linking of the Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) to category formation. This research effort has resulted in over 300 publications in all areas of the use of (Q)SARs, expert systems and read-across to predict toxicity.
