Dr. Chad M. Thompson is a senior health scientist with ToxStrategies based in Houston, Texas. He holds a doctorate degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Dr. Thompson’s graduate work focused on regulation and function of cytochrome P450-mediated drug metabolism. During his postdoctoral training, he investigated the potency and efficacy of various morphine and codeine congeners on opioid receptors. Subsequently, he served as a Risk Policy Fellow with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
