Bio

Nesta Bortey-Sam is an Assistant Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health (EOH) at the School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, PA. Dr. Bortey-Sam serves as EOH’s Vice Chair for Education and Director of the Education Program. As a Toxicologist and Chemist, Dr. Bortey-Sam studies how environmental factors, pollution, and exposures lead to diseases susceptibility, focusing on assessing the health impacts of air and water pollution, filter forensics, Pb and PFAS poisoning, and investigating the implications of prenatal exposure to toxicants and cigarette smoke. Dr. Bortey-Sam has been an active member of Beyond Benign’s Toxicology Working Group to develop open-access toxicology curriculum that introduces chemistry students and faculty to the basics of toxicology. Utilizing his expertise in chemistry and toxicology, Dr. Bortey-Sam developed the Chemical Toxicology in the Age of Green Chemistry course at the University of Pittsburgh to train the next generation of scientists in designing chemical products to preserve efficacy of the function while reducing toxicity. He was supported by the SOT ToxScholar Outreach program to educate chemistry students, in Ghana, about toxicology concepts. https://toxchange.toxicology.org/blogs/nesta-bortey-sam/2023/06/15/introducing-and-expanding-toxicology-concept-and-e
