Work with thought leaders and academic experts in toxicology

Companies can greatly benefit from working with experts in the field of Toxicology. These researchers can provide valuable insights and guidance in various areas such as research and development, product safety assessment, regulatory compliance, risk assessment, and toxicological consulting. By collaborating with Toxicology experts, companies can enhance their understanding of potential hazards, improve product safety, ensure compliance with regulations, and make informed decisions based on scientific evidence. Whether it's pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, or consumer products, partnering with Toxicology researchers can help companies mitigate risks, optimize product performance, and protect public health.

**Dr. Erin Westgate** (she/her/hers) is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Florida, where she studies boredom, interest, and why some thoughts are more engaging than others. ​She received her PhD in social psychology from the University of Virginia in 2018, and her undergraduate degree from Reed College. Much of her research has been on the conditions under which people enjoy or do not enjoy their own thoughts. She has extended that work to the larger question of why people become bored, developing a new model of boredom that explains what boredom is, why we experience it, and what happens when we do.  As part of this, she is investigating our desire for a life full of interesting, perspective-changing experiences - or a “psychologically rich” life.

Example toxicology projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on toxicology?

Pharmaceutical Drug Development

A pharmaceutical company can collaborate with a Toxicology expert to assess the safety and efficacy of new drug candidates. The researcher can conduct preclinical studies to evaluate the potential toxic effects of the drug, identify any adverse reactions, and provide recommendations for dose optimization and risk mitigation.

Chemical Risk Assessment

Companies involved in chemical manufacturing or distribution can benefit from working with a Toxicology researcher to assess the potential risks associated with their products. The expert can evaluate the toxicity profile of the chemicals, identify potential exposure routes, and recommend appropriate safety measures to protect workers and the environment.

Cosmetic Product Safety Evaluation

Cosmetic companies can collaborate with Toxicology experts to ensure the safety of their products. The researcher can assess the toxicological profile of cosmetic ingredients, evaluate potential skin sensitization or irritation, and provide guidance on formulation optimization to minimize potential risks to consumers.

Environmental Impact Assessment

Companies involved in industrial activities or infrastructure development can work with Toxicology researchers to assess the potential environmental impact of their projects. The expert can evaluate the toxicity of pollutants, assess their potential effects on ecosystems, and recommend mitigation strategies to minimize environmental harm.

Regulatory Compliance Support

Companies operating in regulated industries can collaborate with Toxicology experts to ensure compliance with relevant regulations. The researcher can provide toxicological data and risk assessments required for regulatory submissions, assist in interpreting and implementing regulatory guidelines, and help companies navigate complex compliance requirements.
