Job Profile

- Design, plan and conduct toxicity/nanotoxicity studies to assess the safety, biocompatibility, and risk associated with engineered nanomaterials.
- Perform in vitro and in vivo toxicological assays, including cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, oxidative stress, and bioaccumulation studies.
- Evaluate exposure pathways, dose-response relationships, and mechanistic aspects of nanoparticle-induced toxicity.
- Develop and standardize toxicological testing protocols in compliance with national and international regulatory guidelines (OECD, ISO, CPCSEA, GLP).
- Analyze, interpret, and statistically validate experimental data related to toxicity/nanotoxicity and risk assessment.
- Prepare detailed technical reports, scientific papers, and presentations on findings for internal review, peer-reviewed journals, scientific conferences, safety dossiers, SOPs, and contribute to regulatory submissions.
- Conduct risk assessments and advise on the safe handling, use, and disposal of nanomaterials in compliance with national and international safety regulations and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) guidelines.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and regulatory specialists for product development, environmental safety assessment, and regulatory specialists, to provide comprehensive safety evaluations and support the development of safer nanoproducts.
- Support training and capacity-building activities related to nanotoxicology and biosafety.
