Oluwakemi Oyetade

I'm an environmental health and toxicology professional with over five years of experience advancing evidence-based solutions that protect human health, inform regulatory decisions, and strengthen environmental and public health systems. My background includes human health risk assessment, policy-focused research, environmental exposure analysis, technical writing, and managing multidisciplinary projects across federal agencies, academia, and community partners. 

My expertise includes designing and conducting complex scientific analyses, evaluating chemical and environmental exposures, stakeholder/community engagement, and translating technical findings into clear, actionable insights for policymakers, regulators, and diverse stakeholder groups. 

Overall, I bring strong analytical skills, regulatory awareness, knowledge of environmental regulations across multiple jurisdictions (USA and Canada), and a commitment to improving human and environmental health. I’m passionate about using science to inform decisions, shape policy, and support healthier, more sustainable communities.

Provided contract support to a U.S National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) sub-agency developing and evaluating alternative to animal methods (NAMs) for chemical safety testing, establishing their utility for regulatory purposes. Regularly conducted and led systematic literature reviews, risk assessment projects, data curation, harmonization and analysis, stakeholder engagement, as well as scientific and technical writing. 

Hands-on experience working with Indigenous and environmental justice communities, supporting environmental assessments (Phase 1 and 2), community outreach, and climate resilience initiatives.
