About
Lisa Glauch is an environmental toxicologist whose research focuses on advancing high-throughput bioassays for chemical safety assessment and mixture toxicity evaluation. Her major contributions center on improving the accuracy and relevance of in vitro screening methods. In her highly cited 2019 work (84 citations), she demonstrated that testing chemicals at fixed concentrations in cell-based assays is suboptimal, advocating instead for testing up to levels predicted to induce baseline toxicity—the minimal toxicity inherent to every chemical. This insight helps avoid false negatives and improves the reliability of high-throughput screening. Glauch also developed the Combined Algae Test (2020, 30 citations), a 96-well plate assay using the green alga *Raphidocelis subcapitata* that simultaneously measures population growth inhibition and photosynthetic activity via pulse-amplitude modulated fluorometry. This dual-endpoint approach enables more comprehensive evaluation of mixture toxicity in environmental samples. Her work bridges fundamental toxicological principles with practical screening tools, directly supporting regulatory and environmental risk assessment. Glauch’s research is particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking to understand how baseline toxicity concepts and innovative algal assays can enhance the ecological relevance of laboratory-based toxicity testing.
