Highlands, NJ 07732 (215) 840-7656 EduardoFrizell@gmail.com OBJECTIVE: I seek employment as a Toxicologist/Study Director/Study Monitor in non-clinical toxicology research. Note: I relocated to New Jersey on October 2013. Ideally, a good job opportunity for me would be one located in the Garden State. However, I am open to relocation, depending on agreement. SUMMARY: Mid-career Toxicologist. PhD in Developmental Biology and Teratology. 12+ years of experience as Investigator and Study Director in nonclinical toxicology (CRO environment). 5 years of experience in Academic research. Expert in designing, directing, and interpreting GLP and non GLP Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology (DART) study types (reproduction, embryo-fetal and postnatal toxicity), including Juvenile toxicity, and EPAs Tier 1 Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP). Skilled in the design, direction, and evaluation of GLP and non GLP general toxicity studies in rodents (MTD/7-day, 28-Day, 90-Day). Experienced in the design, direction, and evaluation of non-standard toxicity studies in rodents, custom designed to answer particular research questions (mechanism of action and in vivo teratogenicity). Successfully established CROs capabilities for developmental/reproductive and neurobehavioral evaluations. Key participant in the CROs coordination and performance of non GLP and GLP toxicology studies (including protocol generation, test animal procurement, study scheduling, and timely report production in a matrixed environment). Directed and closely monitored contracted studies for protocol execution and GLP (FDA/OECD) compliance. Routinely communicated with Principal Investigators and/or Contributing Scientists to appraise progress, data quality and GLP compliance of ancillary sub-reports. Maintained Sponsors/Study Monitors informed of progress of the contracted studies, to solve any potential issues, and to assure that the CROs deliverables were achieved within established timelines, and within budget. Demonstrated record of effective communication and teamwork in general complex study designs/validations. Assisted in Project Management and manage multiple projects simultaneously. Authored diverse study reports for DART, EDSP and General toxicology studies (generated the corresponding common technical documents CTDs, when required by the Sponsors). In depth knowledge of biostatistical methods and tools, required for the interpretation of reproductive and/or embryo-fetal endpoints. WORK EXPERIENCE Developmental and Reproductive Toxicologist, Tox/Safety Pharmacologist IV May 2011 July 2013 (2 years and 2 months) Life Sciences - Battelle Memorial Institute | Columbus, Ohio Served as Battelles Developmental and Reproductive Toxicologist, and as Subject Matter Expert in charge of Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology (DART) and EPA's Endocrine Disruptor Screening

Program (EDSP) Services. I also functioned as DART Discipline Leader for Government contracts (i.e., The National Toxicology Program NTP). Represented Battelle as Principal Investigator (PI) for in vivo mammalian assays in the re-bidding of EPA/Battelles Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program: Laboratory Assays and Validation Studies (SOL DC-11-00006), under Dr. David Houchens. This EPA million dollar contract was awarded to Battelle. I was hired to start and manage DART and EDSP services at Battelle Memorial Institute. By the end of my employment, I had completed those tasks through a series of successful internal validation studies, some of which was published: EPAs EDSP Tier 1 Mechanistic studies: The Hershberger Bioassay and the Uterotrophic Assay (2011). EPA's EDSP Pubertal Development and Thyroid Function Assays in Intact Juvenile/Peripubertal male and female Rats (2012). All aspects of the Segment 1 (effects on Fertility and Early Embryonic Development) and Segment 3 (effects on pre- and postnatal development, including maternal function) ICH study designs (20112012). The evaluation of Cesarean section parameters and external, visceral and skeletal malformations, in support of a Segment 2 (effects on embryo-fetal development), in the rat (2012). I utilized a classical approach consisting in the administration of single doses of acetylsalicylic acid on different gestational days to generate fetal malformations. Rodent (in the rat and mouse) Vaginal Cytology sample collection and interpretation (2012-2013). Computer Assisted Sperm Assessment (Tox IVOS) in the rat and mouse (TOX IVOS) (2011-2013). I also successfully conducted proficiency studies for study designs proper of the National Toxicology Program (NTP): the Modified One Generation (MOG) and the Reproductive Assessment by Continuous Breeding (RACB). I trained Battelles Scientists and Technical staff; and imparted small courses on aspects proper to DART and EDSP techniques and evaluations, including the examination of Genitourinary Malformations for Perinatal studies in the rat (which was a particular need in NTP studies).

EDUCATION Second Doctorate, Developmental Biology and Teratology, 2000 Thomas Jefferson University/Developmental Biology and Teratology | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania I conducted my second doctoral research under Prof. Joan Overhauser, Ph.D., in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology. I utilized positional candidate cloning to identify genes potentially involved in the genesis of the 18q-haploinsufficiency phenotype. I identified and cloned two novel cell adhesion molecules (Cadherin 7 and Cadherin 7b) in the critical region for genitourinary malformation seen in 18q-. I also identified and partially cloned the murine analog of Cadherin 7b. My thesis work included the construction of physical and transcriptional maps, as well as the expression analysis of candidate genes in a developmental mouse model by means of Northern blotting, In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and RT-PCR. I graduated MAGNA CUM LAUDE.

First Doctorate, Developmental Biology and Teratology and MD, 1981-1988 Universidad de Navarra and Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Schools of Medicine (Spain) I attended Medical school, received my M.D, and my first Doctorate in Spain. My doctorate work dealt with the reproductive toxic effects of chronic alcohol consumption and with the production of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in a rat model. I generated the first successful protocol for cytogenetic analysis of adult and fetal rat tissues in Spain. I demonstrated the impact of confinement-stress on bone marrow functioning in the rat. I successfully designed a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome animal model in this Species. I graduated SUMMA CUM LAUDE, by unanimity. I received the 1988's University of Navarres Special Award to Research. I was admitted to the Royal College of Physicians (Navarre/Spain) At the school of Medicine, I completed studies in biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, parasitology, embryology teratology, pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology. Advanced medical training courses included internal medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology, infectious diseases, oncology, orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, emergency medicine, and general surgery.
