Distinguished Fellow, Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology

Rochelle W. Tyl, PhD, DABT, has more than 45 years of experience in developmental and reproductive biology and toxicology. She is currently principal investigator and study director of a very large National Toxicology Program (NTP) contract and has just successfully completed another large NTP contract. Tyl has been study director for more than 30 multigeneration studies, more than 25 specialized reproductive and endocrine toxicity studies, and more than 155 developmental toxicity studies. Her research on bisphenol A received international recognition when the World Health Organization and the European Union used her study results to perform formal risk assessments for this chemical. Tyl lectures nationally and internationally by invitation and has participated in multiple federal agency workgroups and symposia and societal education courses. She is the author or coauthor of more than 90 peer-reviewed articles, 20 book chapters, more than 85 abstracts, and more than 40 government reports.

Since 1983, she has been a diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology and served on the ABT board of directors (2003-2007). In 2011, she received a lifetime achievement award from the RDTSS at the 50th annual SOT meeting in DC.
