Lyle D. Burgoon

Lyle D. Burgoon is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Institute for Integrative Toxicology and Director of the Center for Existential Threat Analysis. His research focuses on computational toxicology, risk assessment, and biostatistics, particularly in military and environmental contexts. He employs physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling and artificial intelligence to address challenges in chemical safety and the replication crisis in toxicology.
