James W. Lindsey, Ph.D.
President |
|
Dr. James Lindsey is a successful leader and scientist with more than ten years of progressively responsible and diverse accomplishments in managerial and scientific roles in government (Department of Defense) and corporate (pharmaceutical) environments. He has attracted and completed various toxicology assessment projects, assessing human health risks of a variety of pharmaceutical and chemical products, chemical contaminants and materials for clients in the life sciences industry. As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), Dr. Lindsey continues to use sound project management and business principles in the execution of client projects and in business operations.
Previously, Dr. Lindsey was commissioned as a Naval officer and assigned to Naval Medical Research Institute Detachment – Toxicology, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base following graduation with a Ph.D. in Chemistry from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a BS in Biochemistry from East Carolina University. He developed a new microdialysis and neurobehavioral toxicity assessment laboratory and completed a series of programmed studies as principal investigator to several projects investigating neurotoxicity of compounds of military interest. Later, he implemented a “start-up” toxicology laboratory, providing in vitro drug discovery and literature-based toxicological human health risk assessment services, as a manager and senior scientist at Cardinal Health. He also led a group responsible for providing analytical chemistry services in support of biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes while at Cardinal.
Glenn D. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Senior Executive Consultant, Toxicology Assessments
Dr. Glenn Ritchie earned a BA in Psychology/Chemistry from Ohio Wesleyan University, an MA in Physiological Psychology/Statistics from The Ohio State University, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience/Animal Behavior from The Ohio State University. He completed additional graduate and post-graduate research at The Ohio State University College of Ophthalmology (electrophysiology of the visual system) and at Florida State University (recovery of function in the pigeon olfactory system).
Currently, Dr. Ritchie serves additionally as Group Leader for Central Nervous System (CNS) Safety Pharmacology at Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, OH. He is responsible for all neurobehavioral research (especially related to drug discovery) for the multi-national contract research institute.
For ten years previous, Dr. Ritchie served as Senior Scientist (Neurotoxicology) and Assistant Director of the Neurobehavioral Effects Laboratory (NEL) at the US Navy/US Air Force Environmental Health Research Institute at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. In this capacity, he co-developed an 8,500 SF laboratory dedicated to predicting, analyzing and evaluating acute and chronic effects on warfighter performance from environmental exposure to chemicals and other stressors. Dr. Ritchie was responsible for co-development of the Neurobehavioral Toxicity Assessment Battery (NTAB), the Neuromolecular Toxicity Assessment System (NTAS), and the Global Assessment System for Humans (GASH), three completely cross-validated testing systems for prediction of human performance deficits (or enhancements) from toxicity or pharmacological data derived from both in vitro and in vivo sources. Other published research areas for Dr. Ritchie include: neurobehavioral toxicity of JP-8, JP-6 and JP-4 jet fuels; relative neurobehavioral toxicity of various ozone-depleting substance replacements (ODSRs); epileptogenic potential of military fuel additives; neurobehavioral consequences of animal exposure to simulated Persian Gulf War environments; development of CNS tissue-based biosensor systems; and pharmacokinetic analysis of potential toxicants in submarine and aircraft atmospheres. Further, he served as a Navy expert for both hydrocarbon toxicity (jet fuels) and for investigation of human health effects of military interest (i.e., Persian Gulf War illnesses). Dr. Ritchie co-wrote the military Tri-Service 30-Year Plan for application of neurobehavioral technology and methodology to warfighter protection. He has been involved in writing neurobehavioral testing guidelines for a number of government and military entities. Dr. Ritchie served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health.
