Dr. Chad Deisenroth is a Principal Laboratory Toxicologist in the Center for Chemical Informatics and Screening at UL Research Institutes’ Chemical Insights. He earned his Ph.D. in Genetics and Molecular Biology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and completed postdoctoral training in chemical safety sciences at The Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences.

Prior to joining UL Research Institutes, Dr. Deisenroth served as a principal investigator in the Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where he advanced the development and application of in vitro new approach methods – or NAMs – for predictive toxicology. His work at the EPA centered on engineering human-relevant cell culture models and innovative testing approaches to improve the speed, reliability, and biological relevance of chemical hazard identification for human health effects.

Dr. Deisenroth has authored numerous peer‑reviewed publications in leading toxicology journals and received recognition for several high‑impact contributions in the field of in vitro toxicology. He has also led U.S. efforts to validate NAM technology in collaboration with international partners and currently contributes to an OECD working group focused on standardizing and implementing NAMs for endocrine toxicity testing.
