Peer-reviewed work
A selection of recent publications is shown below, with the complete list available on ORCID and Google Scholar. The work spans three decades, from experimental ecotoxicology to methods for mixture risk assessment, data-driven toxicity prediction, and the science that informs European chemicals policy. Across it runs a sustained effort to make the assessment of chemical risk more realistic, more quantitative, and more useful to the decisions that depend on it.
