Employment History

2000- 2003 Consultant, specialty in risk assessment, toxicology and risk modelling. Director of LINEA, Inc. and Director of The LifeLine Group

1997-1999 Partner and President of TAS-ENVIRON, specialty in toxicology and risk assessment

1985- 1997 Co-founder and president of Technical Assessment Systems, consulting firm specializing in pesticide risk assessment.

1976 - 1985 Toxicologist at the US Environmental Protection Agency, serving as Chief of Toxicology, specialty in carcinogenicity and mutagenicity, and risk assessment modelling.

Dr. Chaisson is a recognized expert in risk assessment and regulatory strategies for pesticides, food additives and other chemicals in the human environment. She is one of the architects of the first, and also the most recent exposure assessment software models being used in the United States.

Dr. Chaisson was trained as a cellular biochemist, working in molecular biology and basic cellular mechanisms, earning a doctorate from George Washington University. At the Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia, she was involved in human cancer therapeutic research, and at the Veterans Administration Hospital in D.C., she did basic research on the chemical mechanisms involved with respiratory function.

Dr. Chaisson began her career in risk assessment when she was recruited to the US Environmental Protection Agency in the Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances. Before becoming the Acting Chief of Toxicology, she served as the Chief Project Officer for research, overseeing projects at several EPA research facilities as well as the lead toxicologist for risk assessments on many pesticides. At EPA Dr. Chaisson designed and created the first dietary exposure assessment model. She was also the liaison to international regulatory agencies such as AID and WHO.

In 1985, Dr. Chaisson co-founded Technical Assessment Systems (TAS), which became the premier exposure/risk assessment consulting firm internationally. Through TAS, she introduced concepts such as population subgroup specificity, better definition of residues in forms of foods and sources of drinking water, use of human activity patterns and actual chemical usage patterns for more accuracy and relevance in risk assessment models. Her regulatory strategies have been important advances for both industry and government. Through these experiences, Dr. Chaisson has become well versed in the expectations of regulators in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and European Union. In December of 1998, the acquisition of TAS by ENVIRON Corporation was completed, and Dr. Chaisson became a professional advisor for industry and government agencies on risk assessment approaches and safety evaluation strategies.

Most importantly, Dr. Chaisson is one of three key architects of the new generation of exposure assessment models addressing aggregate and cumulative risk concepts, called LifeLine™. Her special focus on these models has been in the dietary sections-agriculture, food technology, food consumption and food composition.

Dr. Chaisson has been the lead project strategist and risk assessor for several industry entities seeking pesticide registration and compliance with the FQPA and/or international regulatory standards. She serves as a retained consultant for food production companies, chemical companies, government entities and trade associations for performing risk assessments or developing models to aid in that assessment. This work involves an emphasis on US EPA, US FDA, state, Canadian or other international risk assessment approaches and application of analytical and toxicological data to the assessments.

Over the past five years, Dr. Chaisson has collaborated with colleagues to create the most advanced exposure and risk assessment software for considering multiple sources of exposure from one or multiple chemicals over the lifetime (aggregate and cumulative assessment). This model, LifeLine™ is now in use in the US and Canada for pesticide regulatory risk assessment , as well as in a dozen universities as a tool for teaching risk assessment. Dr. Chaisson serves as a Director on the Board of The LifeLine Group, a not-for profit institute dedicated to the development of technically excellent risk assessment tools, and making those tools widely available and applicable to a wide range of stakeholders in the risk assessment practice.

The LifeLine™ models are designed to interface with pharmakokinetic and pharmakodynamic models to better reflect actual dose/effect relationships. Such an interface model has been developed by The LifeLine Group as part of a research project with the American Chemical Council. Other important projects include the careful examination of nutrition studies and food intake studies to better understand the relationships between dietary profiles (or other personal habits) and health status, especially obesity.

The science and social demands on the concept of risk assessment have created a rich opportunity for advances in the technical, political, social and communication arenas. Industries, government and academia are evolving new roles in this process. Dr. Chaisson is devoting her experience to development of sophisticated new software tools to facilitate the technical processes, to be responsive to the traditions of different regulatory authorities, and to assisting industries and government groups to address new health risk issues and paradigms. Her present consulting practice involves both government cooperative agreements and corporate/private consulting.

Dr. Chaisson's skills in communication and visualization of the risk assessment process-and its consequence to society-has attracted many speaking opportunities and positions on policy boards. Dr. Chaisson also serves on the National Council for Arts and Sciences of the George Washington University and the Dean's Advisory Board for the GWU Graduate School of Political Management. She is an advisor to Food Quality magazine.
