About Dr. Currie
Dr. Dana Currie is a board-certified toxicologist and Certified Industrial Hygienist with more than 8 years of experience helping clients evaluate chemical exposures and potential health risks to workers and communities. She combines expertise in human health and environmental toxicology and industrial hygiene to assess exposure conditions, interpret environmental and occupational sampling data, and evaluate potential health effects. Her experience includes risk assessment, emergency response toxicology, risk communication, exposure assessment, and inhalation toxicology, with particular experience involving crude oil, benzene, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic and other metals.
At Onterris, Dr. Currie applies this expertise to human health risk assessments, evaluates scientific evidence concerning relationships between chemical exposure and disease, and toxic tort litigation support. She also supports emergency response planning, develops emergency response guides and sampling plans, and communicates exposure and health risk information to workers and communities.
Dr. Currie earned a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biochemistry from Oakland University and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Environmental Toxicology from Clemson University. Her doctoral research focused on the long-term effects of developmental arsenic exposure on muscle growth and development using Fundulus heteroclitus as a model organism. While at Clemson University, she also taught laboratory methods as a graduate teaching assistant for a Biological Chemistry Techniques course.
Dr. Currie is a member of the Society of Toxicology (SOT), including the Inhalation and Risk Assessment Specialty Sections, and local and national American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).
