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 differentHow it works - the LRI process from ideation to publicationsTools and solutions to address key regulatory challengesKatherine's background and career journeyWorking across disciplines - integrating environmental science with human healthReflecting on the 25 year anniversary of Cefic-LRIUpcoming research projects: new approach methodologies (NAMs), mobility and biodegradationOther hot topics in chemicals safety researchCefic-LRI's contribution to persistence assessment scienceCefic-Lri – Long-Range Research InitiativeDetermining the water solubility of difficult-to-test substances: A tutorial review - ScienceDirectCefic-LRI workshop highlights advances in chemical assessments aligned with evolving regulations – Cefic-LriLRI Marks 25 Years of Advancing Chemical Safety Assessments – Cefic-LriCefic-LRI 25th Anniversary Commemorative BookNew funding opportunities for research on NAMs, biodegradation testing and mobility assessment – Cefic-LriECO52 – Bioavailability, complex substances and overall persistence (BCOP): three themes to deliver a step-change in persistence assessments – Cefic-LriDeveloping a weight-of-evidence methodology for persistence assessment of substances in the environment | Earth, Space, and Environmental Chemistry | ChemRxiv | Cambridge Open EngageVisit my website for more content and insights www.embarkchemical.com
