David M. Lehmann

Intertox Inc

David M. Lehmann, Ph.D., is a distinguished toxicologist with nearly two decades of multidisciplinary experience spanning academia, industry, and government. As a Senior Toxicologist at Intertox, Inc., he specializes in evaluating human health risks associated with environmental pollutants, alcohol and drugs, medical devices, and consumer products. Equally accomplished as a laboratory scientist and a written communicator, Dr. Lehmann brings a rare combination of investigational rigor and analytical clarity to every engagement — making him a trusted resource for clients navigating complex regulatory, litigation, and public health challenges.

Education & Credentials

Dr. Lehmann earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Colorado State University before pursuing advanced training at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, where he completed both his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Toxicology. He subsequently completed a PostDoctoral Appointment in Pharmacology, also at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, further deepening his expertise in drug-related mechanisms and human physiological responses.

Recognition & Leadership

Dr. Lehmann is internationally recognized for his contributions to the development and validation of new approach methodologies (NAMs) and non-animal testing methods. He has been selected as a contributor to ICCVAM, the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods, and has served as an expert panel member for OECD working groups charged with developing new toxicological test guidelines across critical endpoints — including skin sensitization, respiratory sensitization, immunotoxicology, and skin and eye irritation. His appointment to international peer review panels for non-animal toxicity testing methods reflects the scientific community's confidence in his expertise and judgment, and his work in this space continues to shape the future of regulatory toxicology on a global scale.

Professional Involvement

Beyond his client-facing work, Dr. Lehmann is an engaged and active contributor to the broader scientific community. Through his ongoing roles with ICCVAM and OECD expert groups, he participates in federal interagency and international initiatives aimed at advancing the validation and regulatory acceptance of alternative test methods. He also serves as a peer reviewer for international toxicity testing methodologies and validation programs. A committed educator and communicator, Dr. Lehmann is recognized for his ability to translate complex toxicological science for a wide range of audiences — from undergraduate and graduate students to industry professionals, policymakers, and community stakeholders.

Experience

Dr. Lehmann joined Intertox, Inc. in 2025, bringing with him a career built on scientific excellence across research, regulatory science, and applied consulting. His investigational expertise spans a broad range of toxicological endpoints, including respiratory and contact hypersensitivity reactions, immunosuppression, hematology, skin and eye irritation, cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and the effects of insecticides on pollinator health. In the area of human health risk assessment, he applies weight-of-evidence frameworks — including the Bradford Hill criteria — to causation analyses involving pesticides, metals, medical devices, and other chemical agents, delivering defensible and regulatory-ready evaluations. His background in pharmacology and cellular mechanisms further supports both clinical and non-clinical risk assessments involving drug-related signal transduction pathways. Dr. Lehmann is also experienced in designing, conducting, and interpreting in vivo and in vitro toxicology studies built to satisfy regulatory requirements, and he is skilled in systematic review and evidence mapping — conducting comprehensive literature searches and producing the evidence maps that underpin robust risk assessments. Throughout his career, Dr. Lehmann has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to address multifaceted scientific questions with precision, clarity, and a proven commitment to serving client needs.

Notably, she has contributed to the development of innovative internal safety systems, including laying the groundwork for a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) screening framework designed to build a comprehensive database supporting go/no-go decisions for worker safety at a major food company.

Professional Involvement

Dr. O'Neill is an engaged member of the toxicology and regulatory science communities. Her professional work encompasses collaboration with industry stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and legal teams across a wide range of disciplines. She has played an active role in supporting FDA regulatory submissions for tobacco products — both oral and inhaled — and has contributed expert toxicological analyses in support of legal proceedings. Her breadth of involvement across consumer product safety, pharmaceutical product assessment, and occupational health reflects a career defined by interdisciplinary engagement and a consistent commitment to advancing science-based decision making.

Experience

Dr. O'Neill joined Intertox, Inc. in 2024, bringing with her more than twenty years of experience at the intersection of toxicology, regulatory science, and applied risk assessment. Her practice spans human health risk assessment for a diverse portfolio of consumer products — including tobacco products, cannabis vape products, food, and personal care products — as well as toxicological evaluations in industrial and pharmaceutical settings. She has particular expertise in evaluating the health risks posed by f lavoring compounds in oral, food, and inhalation products, and in assessing solvents, organophosphates, and pesticides for their potential impacts on human health. Dr. O'Neill has extensive experience preparing FDA submissions for consumer products, with a specialized focus on both inhaled and oral nicotine products, and she is well-versed in the regulatory landscape governing these categories. She also conducts toxicological evaluations to support extractable and leachable chemical assessments and performs product stewardship reviews for a wide range of chemical compounds. Rounding out her practice, Dr. O'Neill provides expert scientific support in litigation matters, offering well-reasoned, evidence-based toxicological analyses that serve the needs of legal teams and their clients.
