Chris ensures delivery of the regulatory environmental risk assessment processes (quantifying risk for pesticides, veterinary medicines and feed additives) of environmental fate and behaviour of chemicals (e.g. movement of chemicals through soils to surface and ground waters) for our customers. He also leads on the ecotoxicology of chemicals (quantifying the impact chemicals have on terrestrial and aquatic organisms from earthworms and plants to fish and crustaceans). He is also our resident expert for in-silico effects and exposure methods (e.g. QSAR and read-across) within the risk assessment framework - methods to provide data on chemicals when experimentally determined data are unavailable.
Chris provides a technical lead and support to the chemical team here at Fera which comprises of over 40 environmental scientists, ecotoxicologists and chemists. Here at Fera, we focus on improving our understanding of the environmental fate and effects of anthropogenic chemicals (e.g. pesticides, veterinary and human medicines and industrial chemicals) working with both the regulators and commercial entities who wish to bring products to market or progress them through the required review process.
Chris contributes very actively to the scientific community by regularly presenting at international conferences, attending workshops publishing papers and reports and acting as reviewer for international peer-reviewed journals. He is also a chartered member of the Society of Biology and a member of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. Chris has a PhD in Environmental Science from the University of York, an MSc in Environmental Science from the University of Nottingham and a BSc (Hons.) in Biological Sciences from the University of Birmingham.
In Silico Predictive Toxicology (INSPECT) provides you with a reliable, rapid, ethical and cost-effective way to assess the safety of chemical products. Advanced computational (in silico) modelling means that we can now rapidly derive reliable (eco)toxicological assessments without the need for testing on animals.
