Dr. Robyn Leigh Tanguay is a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology and the Director of the Superfund Research Program at Oregon State University and Director of the Sinnhuber Aquatic Research Laboratory. She received her BA in Biology from Cal State University-San Bernardino, her PhD in Biochemistry from the University of California-Riverside and postdoctoral training from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Robyn has pioneered the use of zebrafish as a systems toxicology model. She has authored more than 300 manuscripts and book chapters across numerous disciplines. She serves on numerous federal and commercial advisory boards and as an editor for several scientific journals. She uses phenotypic anchoring coupled with the inherent molecular and genetic advantages of zebrafish to define the mechanisms by which chemicals, drugs and nanoparticles interact with and adversely affect vertebrate development and function. These tools are also now routinely used to assist in the development of inherently safer chemicals and nanoparticles.
