Matt is an ecotoxicologist and environmental risk assessor with 30 years of experience

endangered species, as well as laboratory study design and management. He
particularly enjoys collaborating with internal and external experts in ecotoxicology,

challenges. As a study manager, Matt also maintains strong relationships with contract
research organizations that conduct most GLP ecotoxicology tests for industry.
