Research interests

My research focuses on the intersection of environmental health and science policy. I specialize in the regulatory validation, qualification, and standardization of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), particularly in vitro testing methods like Microphysiological Systems and organ-on-a-chip models. Through comparative analysis of decision-making frameworks governing drugs, chemicals, and medical products, I aim to enhance evidence-based policymaking and expedite the translation, adoption, and implementation of innovative testing methods.
