Exposures of interest include workplace hazards (pesticides, solvents), persistent organic pollutants (polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins), and point sources of pollution (industrial facilities, traffic). More recent projects address health in cities, including risks from extreme climatic events and triggers of asthma in the urban environment. Dr. De Roos teaches courses in principles and practice of environmental and occupational health, health impact assessment, quantitative risk analysis, and weight-of-evidence evaluation for hazard identification. Dr. De Roos is an associate editor for the journal Environmental Health Perspectives and has served as an expert/peer reviewer for several risk evaluations in recent years, including those reviewing pesticides for the International Agency for Research on Cancer monograph series, formaldehyde for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Report on Carcinogens, and methylene chloride in paint stripping use for a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency risk assessment. She received her MPH in biostatistics and epidemiology from the University of California, Berkeley, and her PhD in epidemiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
David C. Dorman is a professor of toxicology in the Department of Molecular Biosciences of North Carolina State University. Dr. Dorman’s research interests include neurotoxicology, nasal toxicology, pharmacokinetics, and cognition and olfactory in military working dogs. He has served as a member or chair of several National Academies committees, including two Committees on Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants, the Committee to Evaluate Potential Health Risks from Recurrent Lead Exposure to DOD Firing Range Personnel, the Committee to Review EPA’s Draft IRIS Assessment of Formaldehyde, the Committee to Review the IRIS Process, and the Committee on Endocrine-Related Low-Dose Toxicity. He received his DVM from Colorado State University. He completed a combined PhD and residency program in toxicology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is a diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Toxicology and the American Board of Toxicology. He is a national associate of the National Research Council and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Theodore J. Hogan is an associate professor in the Department of Technology at the Northern Illinois University College of Engineering and Engineering Technology. His research interests are in environmental and occupational exposure to nanoparticles, chemical skin exposures and controls, chemical exposure guidelines, and environmental risk communication. He is a member of the Threshold
Limit Values Chemical Substances Committee of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists and a member of the Argonne National Laboratories Institutional Biosafety Committee. Dr. Hogan received his MS and PhD in industrial hygiene from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and is a certified industrial hygienist.
Juleen Lam is an assistant professor in the Department of Health Sciences at the California State University, East Bay. She is also an affiliate researcher in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine. Her research interests are in environmental epidemiology, evaluation of population exposures to environmental contaminants, assessment and communication of environmental risks, and reproductive and developmental health. She specializes in analysis of environmental health data and development and application of risk assessment methods. Of particular note, Dr. Lam has been involved in the development of systematic review methods for environmental health data and has been a pivotal part in implementing, publishing, and disseminating these approaches in both academic and government settings. She is a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Board of Scientific Counselors Chemical Safety for Sustainability Subcommittee. She received her MS in environmental engineering management from The George Washington University, and her MHS in biostatistics and PhD in environmental health policy from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Karen A. Robinson is a professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She is also director of the Johns Hopkins Evidence-based Practice Center and is a member of the core faculty in the Center for Clinical Trials and Evidence Synthesis at the university’s Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Robinson’s research focuses on evidence-based health care and evidence-based research. She conducts systematic reviews that are used to develop clinical practice guidelines and to inform other health decisions. She served on the National Academies Committee on Endocrine-Related Low-Dose Toxicity and the Committee to Review Advances Made to the IRIS Process. Dr. Robinson received an MSc in health sciences from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, and a PhD in epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Elizabeth P. Ryan is an associate professor in the Division of Toxicology of the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences at Colorado State University.

Carol S. Wood is a distinguished staff scientist in the Environmental Science Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She has more than 20 years of experience as a toxicologist, with extensive work performing risk assessments of inhalation/pulmonary and oral toxicity from exposure to a variety of chemicals. Her past work has included developing acute exposure guideline levels and provisional advisory levels, in which health-based exposure levels are developed for priority toxic chemicals. These projects often used toxicokinetic data and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models for extrapolating animal toxicology data to humans. Dr. Wood is a past president of the American Board of Toxicology. She is certified in general toxicology by the American Board of Toxicology. She served on the National Academies Committee on the Review of Clinical Guidance for the Care of Health Conditions Identified by the Camp Lejeune Legislation, the Committee on Spacecraft Exposure Guidelines, and the Committee on Gulf War and Health, Volume 11 (Generational Health Effects of Serving in the Gulf War).
