Mark Wilson, Ph.D., MSPH, CIH, is the director of the Center for Analytics & Exposure Science within UL Research Institutes’ Chemical Insights in Marietta, Georgia. His work aims to characterize exposure potentials associated with various occupational and environmental scenarios to conduct robust health risk assessments. Marks’s methodology is based on the collection of various environmental media (air, water, food, dust/soil) to determine the presence and quantify the levels of chemical hazards present in the media and utilizes a collaborative approach with internal and external colleagues. The chemical analysis data are then integrated with intake rates of environmental media to determine likely exposure doses to chemicals of concern that are evaluated for acceptability by comparison to regulatory or health-based criteria.
Mark received a Ph.D. and a Masters in Toxicology from Tulane University, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, in New Orleans, Louisiana. After graduate school, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Tulane University. During this time, Mark was involved in dietary health risk assessments focused on the impact of the Deepwater Horizon (BP) oil spill on seafood safety in the Gulf of Mexico and developed in vitro methodology to evaluate the toxic potential for chemical agents with little to no regulatory and toxicological information.
