Biographical Sketch
Dr. Robin Todd is originally from Totnes, Devon in the UK. He obtained his BA in biological sciences from the University of Lancaster (UK) in 1971. Robin spent 1971-78 on Grand Cayman working for the Mosquito Research & Control Unit under the formidable Dr. Marco Giglioli, first as a VSO then as a graduate research assistant. His duties included assisting a network of rain and tide gauges, nightly light-trapping and truck-mounted fogging, assessing experimental aerial sprays and canalizing the mangrove swamps. Robin obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Reading (UK) in 1979, based on his Cayman field work on the biological control of Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus (black saltmarsh mosquito) using indigenous minnow species. He joined Baltimore-based Insect Control & Research Inc. (later ICR Inc.) in 1979 to work for Dr. Gene Gerberg in contract efficacy testing and regulatory entomology. When Gene retired in 1990, and sold ICR to McLaughlin Gormley King Company, Robin became the director. In October 2012, i2L Research Ltd. of Cardiff, UK, acquired ICR, which now trades as i2LResearch USA, Inc. Robin overseas i2L USA’s marketing efforts and its testing program, using colonies of 28 species of household and public health pests, and other wild-caught species. I2L USA conducts GLP and non-GLP studies for chemical, fragrance, pharmaceutical, and personal care companies. Robin and his regulatory team also consult for companies to register their products with EPA, the states’ and Canada’s PMRA, as well as maintaining existing registrations.
