Dr. Bolger is a board-certified toxicologist by the American Board of Toxicology. Since 1980, he has been involved in the hazard, safety, and risk assessment of anthropogenic and naturally derived contaminants in food. Dr. Bolger received his Bachelor's Degree in biology from Villanova University and his Doctoral Degree in physiology and biophysics from Georgetown University.
After a three year postdoctoral position at the Georgetown University Medical Center, he became a staff fellow in toxicology with the Bureau of Foods in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Upon completion of his staff fellowship, he accepted a position as a toxicologist with the Contaminants Branch at the FDA.
Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Bolger was the Director of the Chemical Hazards Assessment staff in the Office of Food Safety, which is responsible for the hazard, safety, and risk assessment of food borne contaminants, and for reporting FDA monitoring efforts on food-borne environmental contaminants and the conduct of exposure assessments. Dr. Bolger is currently serving as a food safety expert of the World Health Organization and as a member of the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives and the Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group of the World Health Organization.
Dr. Bolger is the recipient of the 2009 Arnold J. Lehman Award conferred by the Society of Toxicology and the 2010 Outstanding Risk Practitioner Award conferred by the Society of Risk Analysis.
