Connect with Colleen on LinkedInColleen McLoughlin has been with Enhesa since 2016. She holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and is a US board-certified toxicologist (Diplomate American Board of Toxicology-DABT) and a European Registered Toxicologist (E.R.T.). As head of the Toxicology Department, she assists companies in achieving their sustainable chemistry goals by helping assess new chemicals to provide our clients with critical insight into the human health, environmental health, and fate of the chemistries in their products and processes.
Colleen mentors in the Toxicology Mentoring Skills Development Program, manages a passionate team, and regularly presents their work internally and at conferences. She helps companies proactively comply with regulations, prepare for regulatory changes, and future-proof their chemistry choices.
She is a member of the Sustainable Chemistry leadership team and serves in various leadership roles, including for the Association for the Advancement of Alternatives Assessment and the Society of Toxicology.
Collen is passionate about sustainable chemistry, toxicology, and health equity, and serves on the board of the local non-profit organization Health Equity and Access in Rural Regions (HEARR).
When asked about her hopes and vision for the future, Colleen responded, “I hope to see greater adoption of chemical hazard assessments and supply chain transparency for a more sustainable and safer future.”
She believes her work at Enhesa helps clients realize a sustainable future and minimize their potential environmental damage.
