2002 PhD in Molecular & Environmental Toxicology from UW-Madison - Advisor - Timothy Mulcahy
Graduate Work: I studied the transcriptional regulation of glutathione synthesis enzymes in response to oxidative stress in different types of human cells. This provided me with much greater expertise in molecular biology and also a solid background in mammalian cell culture techniques.
Dissertation - Cell-Type Specific Transcriptional Regulation of the Slutamate Cysteine Ligase Catalytic and Regulatory Subunit Genes
Graduate Experience: I enjoyed my graduate experience very much and have found the toxicology training to be immensely useful. In addition to learning the nuts and bolts of toxicology and how to be an independent scientist, I had the opportunity to develop some other skills, like public speaking and writing and leadership. I was heavily involved with the Student Liaison Committee and also started a journal club, both of which turned out to be very valuable experiences down the road.
As of Fall 2007 - Toxicologist; Institute for In Vitro Sciences, Inc
Bio: After finishing a biology degree at Portland State University (Oregon), I worked as a molecular biologist for two years before starting my graduate work at the METC. After graduating I finished a postdoc in the Department of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco, working on antimalarial drug discovery. This provided some good experience working with industrial collaborators, and I have since taken a position in industry. I am now working at the Institute for In Vitro Sciences. IIVS specializes in in vitro toxicity testing. In addition to providing contract research services to the Cosmetics, Pharmaceutical and Consumer Products Industries, we are developing new in vitro models and also working with both US and International regulatory agencies to get these models validated for use in regulatory decision making.

1984 PhD in Environmental Toxicology from UW-Madison - Advisor - Colin R. Jefcoate
Dissertation: Characterization of the Changes in control of Adrenal Steroidogenesis Induced by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-P-Dioxin
As of Fall 2007: Chief, Occupational Lead Poisoning Prevention Program and California Safe Cosmetics Program, CA Dept of Health Services
Bio: Michael J. DiBartolomeis, PhD, DABT, heads two programs in the California Department of Public Health's Occupational Health Branch: the Occupational Lead Poisoning Prevention Program and the California Safe Cosmetics Program. Dr. DiBartolomeis has over 23 years of professional experience in environmental and occupational health, risk assessment, and chemical policy development.
He previously headed the Pesticide and Food Toxicology Program in the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment of the California Environmental Protection Agency. His professional interests include reforming chemical management policy in the United States and internationally to address issues related to environmental justice, environmental and occupational health, biological monitoring, "green chemistry," and the integration of precaution into environmental decision-making. Dr. DiBartolomeis has presented original research in over 60 publications and conference proceedings.

Natalie DiNicola, PhD - Email - (314) 694-3195
1995 PhD Advisor- Mark Cook and Eugene Smalley, PhD
Graduate Work: My graduate experience was difficult at times but overall wonderful. I realize now that one of the greatest gifts my advisor Mark Cook gave me was not just the guidance in my own research but the ability to see how research projects connect to each other and to practical applications.
I am not doing research directly today but work with scientists in our
company to help bridge their interactions with other parts of our
company and with external stakeholders.
Dissertation: Evidence for an unidentified Autoclave - labile Anti-Thiamin Factor produced by Fusarium Proliferatum Associated with Spiking Mortality Syndrome
As of Spring 2008: Director of Int'l Development Partnerships - Monsanto Co.

She currently serves as the Director of International Development Partnerships overseeing technology sharing programs between the public and private sectors to improve food security and the economic development of smallholder farmers in developing countries.
Prior to that position, she served as Environmental Stewardship Lead with responsibility to coordinate issues such as Insect Resistance and Weed Resistance Management strategies across different crops and geographies. She has also worked on projects to harmonize global regulatory structures and promote biotechnology acceptance.
Prior to her employment with Monsanto, Natalie served as the 1996 Federation of Animal Sciences Societies Congressional Science fellow in Washington DC where she worked for Congressman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) on agriculture and environment-related issues and focused on the use of science in policy making. She continued working as the Congressman’s legislative assistant for three years before moving to Monsanto.
She received her B.A. in Biology and Environmental Biology from St. Mary’s College in 1989 and her Ph.D. in Environmental Toxicology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1995.
