Kyla W. Taylor, Ph.D., is an epidemiologist in Integrative Health Assessment Branch at the Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) at NIEHS. Taylor specializes in systematic review and hazard identification methodologies and serves as the program lead for DTT’s Consumer Products and Therapeutics Program. Taylor's research includes conducting systematic review and meta-analyses, advancing and harmonizing systematic review and evidence integration methodology, and developing class-based approaches for hazard assessment. Additionally, Taylor leads primary research on exposures to personal care products and their chemical constituents, investigating potential links to hormone-sensitive cancers and other health outcomes.
Taylor received her BA from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, her M.S. in Population Health Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and her Ph.D. in Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
