About

Dr. Gina Solomon is a leading voice in environmental health, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how we assess chemical risks. Her research centers on the intersection of toxicology, public policy, and environmental justice, with a particular focus on how exposure to pollutants—from pesticides to industrial chemicals—affects vulnerable populations, including children and communities of color. Dr. Solomon’s most profound contribution is her co-authorship of the landmark 2007 National Academy of Sciences report, *Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and a Strategy* (cited over 1,600 times). This visionary document catalyzed a paradigm shift in toxicology, advocating for a move away from traditional, animal-intensive testing toward high-throughput, human-cell-based methods. By championing this more efficient, mechanistic approach, she has helped pave the way for faster, more accurate chemical safety assessments. Beyond this seminal work, Dr. Solomon has been a tireless advocate for translating science into protective regulation, serving as a Deputy Secretary for Science and Health at the California Environmental Protection Agency. Her career exemplifies how rigorous research can directly inform policy to safeguard public health.
