THEO COLBORN, Ph.D. PRESIDENT

Dr. Colborn has served on numerous advisory panels, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board, the Ecosystem Health Committee of the International Joint Commission of the United States and Canada, the Science Management Committee of the Toxic Substances Research Initiative of Canada, the U.S. EPA Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Advisory Committee, and the EPA Endocrine Disruption Methods and Validation Subcommittee. She has published and lectured extensively on the transgenerational effects of toxic chemicals on the developing endocrine, immune, metabolic, and nervous systems in the womb and early childhood.

In 1985, Dr. Colborn received a Fellowship from the Office of Technology Assessment, U.S. Congress. She joined the Conservation Foundation in 1987 to provide scientific guidance for the 1990 book, Great Lakes, Great Legacy. She held a Chair for three years, starting in 1990, with the W. Alton Jones Foundation, and in 1993 was given a three-year Pew Fellows Award. She was the recipient of the 1997 Chatham College Rachel Carson Award, the 1999 Norwegian International Rachel Carson Prize, the 2000 International Blue Planet Prize, the 2003 Society of Toxicology and Environmental Chemistry, Rachel Carson Award, the 2004 Center for Science in the Public Interest, Rachel Carson Award, and the Beyond Pesticides, 2006 Dragonfly Award.

More recent awards include The Swedish Goteborg Prize for the Environment and Sustainability, November 2008; the TIME Global Environmental Heroes Award, October 2007; the National Council on Science and the environment, Lifetime Achievement Award, February 2007; and the University of California San Francisco Medical School/Collaborative for Health and the Environment 2007 Summit Award: A Woman on the Forefront: Leadership and Integrity in Science, January 2007.

Dr. Colborn earned a Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Zoology (distributed minors in epidemiology, toxicology, and water chemistry); an M.A. in Science at Western State College of Colorado (fresh-water ecology); and a B.S. in Pharmacy from Rutgers University, College of Pharmacy.
