Pablo Sanchez Soria, PhD, CIH
Senior Toxicologist
Dr. Pablo Sanchez Soria is a senior toxicologist and a certified industrial hygienist (CIH) with experience in human and environmental toxicology, risk assessment, and emergency response toxicology. Dr. Sanchez Soria obtained a B.S. with a double major in microbiology and nutritional sciences. Dr. Sanchez Soria has experience in the field of virology, researching viral fitness mechanisms, and viral adaptation to anti-viral treatments. Following his research interests, Dr. Sanchez Soria pursued a Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Arizona, where his dissertation work characterized cardiovascular and metabolic pathophysiology in mice exposed to environmental arsenic chronically, as well as in-utero.
As a senior toxicologist at CTEH, Dr. Sanchez Soria specializes in toxicology, risk assessment, toxicity evaluations, and complex industrial hygiene challenges. He is a responding toxicologist in the CTEH Toxicology Emergency Response Program (TERP®) and regularly serves as a technical director, manages, and conducts air monitoring activities during chemical spills. He is a member of the Emergency Response Industrial Hygiene Strike Team, and a bilingual member of the CTEH International Strike Team, and has responded to several incidents in North and Central America. Dr. Sanchez Soria also manages and directs work evaluating the relationship between chemical exposure and disease, formulation of emergency response guides, and involvement in the environmental contamination and toxic tort litigation.
