Welcome to Chemical Journeys. Explore the science and story of chemicals in the environment through conversations with people working in this area.
In this episode I speak with Dr Katherine Santizo, Programme Manager of Cefic's Long-range Research Initiative (LRI).
Since 1999, Cefic-LRI has funded over 250 projects (totaling approximately €90 million) to advance the scientific assessment of the safety of chemicals, and to improve understanding of potential health and environmental risks.
Tune in to hear first-hand from Katherine about the exciting work that Cefic-LRI does, and how this is helping to deliver progress in chemicals assessment science.
Our conversation covers:
- What is Cefic-LRI? The LRI mission, and what makes it different
- How it works – the LRI process from ideation to publications
- Tools and solutions to address key regulatory challenges
- Katherine's background and career journey
- Working across disciplines – integrating environmental science with human health
- Reflecting on the 25 year anniversary of Cefic-LRI
- Upcoming research projects: new approach methodologies (NAMs), mobility and biodegradation
- Other hot topics in chemicals safety research
- Cefic-LRI's contribution to persistence assessment science
