2024 Herbert Stokinger Award Winner
Martyn T. Smith, PhD
At the conclusion of the meeting, Martyn Thomas Smith will be presenting the Stokinger Lecture titled, “Hazards of Occupational and Environmental Exposure to Benzene.“ Dr. Smith is a Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Toxicology and the Kaiser Chair of Cancer Epidemiology in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London and did Post-Doctoral training in toxicology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Dr. Smith has expertise in molecular epidemiology, toxicology and genomics, and his research is mostly aimed at finding the causes of cancer, especially blood cancers. Dr. Smith is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He received the 2010 Children’s Environmental Health Network Award, became an Elected Fellow of the Collegium Ramazzini in 2012, and received the Alexander Hollaender Award from the Environmental Mutagenesis and Genomics Society in 2014. Since its inception in 1987, Smith has directed the Superfund Research Program (SRP) Center at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). This program combines basic research, engineering, population studies, training, and community engagement to understand cumulative impacts from multiple environmental stressors. Smith is best known for his work on benzene toxicity, the exposome concept and the key characteristics framework, which helps risk assessors better identify, organize, and summarize the potential health risks of different chemicals. His most recent work uses machine learning, AI and molecular modeling to predict toxicity. He has published almost 400 peer-reviewed publications and authored 44 book chapters and 1 book. In 2023, he became President and CEO of 1Tox, a consulting company and has served as a consultant in litigation for over 40 years.
