About Michael Devito
Leading the Chemical Characterization and Exposure Division at the EPA, my focus is on pioneering chemoinformatic tools and computational models that dramatically shorten the timeline for toxicity assessments. Alongside my team, we\'re committed to advancing experimental chemistry approaches, crucial for comprehending chemical properties and their environmental impact. My tenure at the EPA and previous role as a Branch Chief have honed my expertise in biochemistry, cell biology, and toxicology. This multidisciplinary skill set empowers us to predict chemical exposures and doses effectively, striving for a balance between environmental protection and public health advancement.
Experience
Director
Us Environmental Protection Agency Epa
Oct 2019 — Present · Research Triangle Park, NC
The Chemical Characterization and Exposure Division (CCED) performs research to develop and advance experimental chemistry approaches that are critical to the rapid characterization of the presence, structural characteristics, and properties of chemicals that are of interest to EPA scientists due to their potential environmental fate and toxicity. In addition to chemical characterization, CCED develops computational models to predict external exposure and internal doses for large numbers of chemicals based on minimal data.CCED strives to reduce the time to conduct toxicity and exposure assessments from years to months by developing:• Chemoinformatic tools and knowledgebases• Rapid analytical methods for identifying environmental chemicals in environmental and biological samples• Predictive models of both exposure and dose for environmental chemicals• Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion approaches for environmental chemicals and model parameterization
