Andrew Rooney, Ph.D., is acting Chief of the Integrative Health Assessments Branch of the Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). He is an active and accountable leader, supporting staff and leveraging branch expertise to address challenging public health questions through the development of impactful systematic reviews and evidence maps.

In addition to publishing environmental health assessments, Rooney is thought leader in the field, actively involved in developing risk assessment methods, systematic review guidance, and advanced informatics approaches throughout his professional career. He led the team that developed the OHAT Approach to systematic review and evidence integration – a key step in bringing systematic review methods into toxicology and environmental health. Rooney has co-authored over 100 contributions to the peer-reviewed literature and government assessments such as NTP Monographs, EPA IRIS Toxicological Reviews, and WHO Guidelines. He has also served on expert committees for U.S. and international organizations including the EPA Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals, National Academy of Sciences Engineering and Medicine, European Food Safety Authority, and World Health Organization's Chemical Risk Assessment Network.

Rooney received his Sc.B. in Biology with Honors from Brown University and completed his graduate training at the University of Florida, earning a M.S. and Ph.D. in Zoology. He was awarded a National Research Grant of Canada and completed postdoctoral fellowships in immunotoxicology at both the University of Quebec, INRS-SANTÉ and the US EPA. He later joined the US EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System Staff, where he served as a health scientist and Team Leader before joining NIEHS to work with NTP in 2009.
