Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristin Eccles is a Research Scientist and leader of the Computational Toxicology Research Group at Health Canada with nine years of interdisciplinary experience integrating GIS, systems biology, and computational toxicology to modernize chemical risk assessment. She specializes in linking spatially resolved external exposure models with internal exposome measures using AEP/AOP frameworks, HTTK, IVIVE and high-content imaging (Cell Painting) to predict effects of chemical mixtures without reliance on animal testing. Her work spans academia and government—from paleoecotoxicology and wildlife sentinel studies to NAMs-driven mixture modelling at NIEHS—bringing a rare combination of geospatial trend reconstruction and high-throughput bioactivity translation. She champions open-source tools and reproducible regulatory science, and has built in-house Cell Painting capabilities to generate rich morphological profiles for prioritization. Kristin’s long-term focus is precision environmental health: explaining why vulnerability to contaminants varies across individuals, species and place by combining computational models, lab assays and field data.
