Kristin K. Isaacs, Ph.D., is a principal computational exposure research scientist at UL Research Institutes’ Chemical Insights. She leads research on characterizing human health risks from chemicals, focusing on their sources, pathways, and occurrence in the environment. Her expertise includes probabilistic exposure modeling, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling, and network analysis.

With over 15 years working in research and development, including co-leading a program that provides high-throughput exposure estimates for thousands of chemicals, Kristin is a leader in computational exposure science. Her work includes developing human exposure models for air pollutants, advancing New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) like machine learning, and creating databases to support regulatory decision-making.

She has published over 70 peer-reviewed articles and mentored 12 postdoctoral fellows. She holds an adjunct associate professor role at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and previously served on the Board of Directors for the International Society of Exposure Science. Kristin earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Vanderbilt University and both her Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from the University of Kentucky.
