3. Dale Hattis
3. Hattis, Dale
Academic and Professional Credentials PhD
Current Position Title Research Professor
Organizational Affiliation(s) The George Perkins Marsh Institute
Clark University
Areas of Expertise, Discipline, Relevant Experiences Expertise / Discipline: pharmacokinetics, risk assessment, pharmacodynamics, toxicology, toxicity, pharmacokinetic modeling, pharmacogenetics, toxicokinetics, PKPD modeling, human health
Experience: Bridge the gap between experimental scientists and statistical researchers by representing the causal mechanisms that are likely to lead to biological damage of policy interest. The principal foci of his past work are the use of various biomarkers and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models to improve risk assessment for carcinogens; quantitative treatment of inter-individual variability in susceptibility for a wide variety of non-cancer effects; and the use of Monte Carlo simulations to represent the combined effects of multiple sources of uncertainty and variability.
