Orbitox: International Toxicology Consultants provide scientific expertise as well as Expert Witness services in: General, Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology, Endocrine Disrupter issues, Birth Defects; Occupational Exposure and Environmental Risk Assessment.
Dr. Frank Welsch is the principal toxicologist at Orbitox. With more than thirty years of solid research and academic experience including grant support from NIH (the National Institutes of Health), his scientific knowledge offers unbiased professional evaluation of quantitative and qualitative toxicological data by:
• Addressing work place and occupational exposure issues as well as labeling criteria for regulatory consideration;
• Arguing for exposure standards based on the weight of solid, peer reviewed scientific evidence and real world exposure scenarios.

Developmental and reproductive toxicology of endocrine disrupters and other chemicals, including manifestations of the effects of prenatal and perinatal exposure at the gross structural, micromorphological and biochemical/functional level in offspring of both sexes.
Effects of pregnancy on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, physiologically based pharmacokinetics; extrapolation between species and to humans for improvement of scientifically based risk assessment;
Role of chemical metabolism for the expression of embryotoxicity/teratogenicity and to explain species differences in embryotoxic response;
Development of new testing methods to predict developmental toxicity hazard;
