Dr. Lindsey St. Mary, PhD
PhD Toxicology

Dr. Lindsey St. Mary, PhD is an NIEHS postdoctoral fellow at Dr. Robyn Tanguay’s lab in the Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology at Oregon State University (OSU). Her current work consists of screening and categorizing 5,000 distinct chemicals found in the environment, consumer products, or used in manufacturing processes in order to assess molecular changes relevant to human disease.

Additionally, she is collaborating with AsedaSciences to integrate their high throughput live-cell screening system (SYSTEMETRIC®) and the Tanguay Lab’s zebrafish screening assessment (ZBEscreen™) to predict hazard during the drug discovery and development process. Lindsey is president of Oregon State University’s (OSU) Postdoctoral Association (OPA), postdoctoral representative for OSU’s TeamTOX and Pacific Northwest Association of Toxicologists (PANWAT), and OSU Superfund Research Program’s (SRP) Trainee Coordinator.

Lindsey has a strong passion for ensuring products developed for the global market are safe and effective, investigating toxicity of environmental pollutants and consumer product contaminants, while also pursuing cancer therapy research.
