Positions
1990-present: Research Biologist, Reproductive Health Assessment Section, Biomonitoring and Health Assessment Branch, Division of Applied Research and Technology, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. This position requires research concept development, team leadership of experimental phases and communication of the results. Broad objectives of such projects require extensive coordination with other groups within the Institute and the National Toxicology Program and has included obtaining external funding. Current efforts as project director and scientific leader of a select group of national experts in reproductive health (toxicology & epidemiology) involve prioritization of reproductive toxicants for application in field investigations. Additional responsibilities includes project direction for cohort feasibility evaluations of workers exposed to reproductive hazards.
1978-1989: Chief, Chronic Toxicology Section for Division of Biomedical and Behavioral Sciences, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The responsibilities of this position included program development, resource management, and reporting of laboratory investigative research to develop information on the toxicity of industrial chemicals. Long term evaluation of cumulative toxic effects on the vital organ systems were studied. Special emphasis is on carcinogenic bioassay, immunotoxicology, and cardiopulmonary physiology. Personally designed, implemented, and reported on novel exposure facilities (head only chamber, intermittent exposure chamber, and maximal containment, carcinogen exposure systems). Directed the development of a productive program in primate animal modeling of occupational asthma. Designed, directed and reported the results of the major chronic inhalation toxicity study of fibrous glass, foundry effluents, coal dust, and diesel exhaust. Supervision of 4-12 professionals and supporting technical staff. Served National Toxicology Program as the chemical manager for Vanadium.
1971-1978: Research Biologist for National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Cincinnati, Ohio. Employed in the Toxicity Testing Section as team leader of the inhalation and cardiopulmonary laboratories. Responsibilities included: project development and direction of two major research projects: (1) Use of Animal Models for Development of Criteria for Industrial Air Standards, and (2) Acute Cardiopulmonary testing and evaluation of animals undergoing chronic inhalation toxicity testing. Evaluated the cardiopulmonary toxicity of coal dust, amorphous silicas, polyvinyl chloride coal slags, fibrous glass and polyurethane foam dusts. Supervision of from 2 to 4 Biological Laboratory Technicians.
1968-1971: Biologist for Environmental Protection Agency, National Air Pollution Control Administration, Cincinnati, Ohio Employed in the Chronic and Exploratory Toxicology Section as group leader of the Cardiopulmonary Unit. Primary responsibilities involved cardiopulmonary testing and evaluation of animals in chronic inhalation studies. Determined the nasopharyngeal decomposition of ozone following acute and chronic exposure. Personally developed a new method (variable pressure plethysmography) for conducting ventilatory tests in experimental animals. This development has been widely accepted and has enabled investigators to perform human type pulmonary function tests requiring breathing maneuvers in anesthetized animals.
1966-1968: Cardiopulmonary Function Technician for U.S. Veterans Administration Hospital Cincinnati, Ohio. Employed in the research unit of Respiratory Disease Section. Duties included conducting pulmonary function testing, electrocardiographic analysis, blood gas analysis, operating room acid/base monitoring of patients in open heart surgery, and special cardiopulmonary testing of patients with infectious diseases.
1965-1966: Research Assistant for University of Cincinnati, General Hospital Employed in the Lipid Research Laboratory studying the correlation of elevated uric acid and cholesterol in hyperlipemic patients undergoing various dietary and drug treatments.
