Georgia K. Roberts, Ph.D., is a Staff Scientist in the Office of Program Operations in the Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT). Roberts administers and monitors contracts for toxicology research, quality assessment, and analyses of existing scientific literature. She helps to design, conduct, interpret, and report DTT research in peer reviewed manuscripts and Government reports.

Roberts received a B.S. in biological sciences from Florida State University in 2009 and a Ph.D. in toxicology from the University of Florida Veterinary School in 2014. Before joining the Office of Program Operations in 2016, she was a postdoctoral intramural research and training award (IRTA) fellow in DTT/NIEHS.
