Prof. Bob VAN DE WATER
Head of Division, Professor of Drug Safety Sciences
University of Leiden, THE NETHERLANDS
Prof. Van de Water obtained his PhD (cum laude) at the Leiden/
Amsterdam Center for Drug Research (LACDR) from Leiden University in
1995 and performed a postdoctoral training in the USA in the lab of Dr
James Stevens. He joined the Division of Toxicology of the LACDR in
1997.
His research interest is on identifying molecular mechanisms of
xenobiotic-induced cytotoxicity using a systems toxicology approach by
integrating both gene expression profiling, phospho-proteomics and
large scale RNAi-based functional genomics.
Prof.Vera ROGIERS
Head of the Department of Toxicology, Dermato-Cosmetology
and Pharmacognosy
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)
BELGIUM
Prof. Dr. Gisela DEGEN
Head of Biochemical-Toxicological Laboratory
University of Dortmund
GERMANY
Vera Rogiers is full-time professor of toxicology at the Vrije Universiteit
Brussel(VUB) and organizes yearly postgraduate courses on “Safety
evaluation of cosmetics and their ingredients in the EU”.
Prof. Dr. Gisela Degen is the head of the research group
«Chemical Risks» and part of IfADo - Leibniz Research Centre for
Working Environment and Human Factors at the TU Dortmund.
Her main research activity is situated in experimental in vitro toxicology
with focus on the development of in vitro models for
pharmaco-toxicological purposes as an alternative to the use of experimental animals. She is author of more than 260 publications in
international peer-reviewed scientific journals and is editor of several
scientific books. She was and still is involved in several EU research
projects with respect to in vitro toxicology.
Prof. Dr. Degen is also a member of the Scientific Committee for
Consumer Safety within the European Commission Health and
Consumer Protection Directorate-General.
She has obtained several international scientific awards and is reviewer
of a number of international scientific journals in toxicology,
pharmacology and dermatology. She is, at the EU level, invited expert of
the SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety) and became recently
member of EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).
Research interests include biochemical toxicology (bioactivation
and detoxication of xenobiotics), genotoxicity of chemicals
(mycotoxins, steroids, metals, others), human biomotoring
(Biomarker of Exposure), toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of
hormonally active compounds and risk assessment of chemicals.

16-17 June 2015 |Brussels, Belgium
Prof. Ian COTGREAVE
Prof. Ragnar LOFSTEDT
Director for Strategic Scientific Development, National and Professor of Risk Management and Director of King’s Centre for
International Networking Swedish Toxicology Sciences
Risk Management, King’s College London
(SWETOX)
UNITED KINGDOM
SWEDEN
Ian Cotgreave is professor of toxicology at the Karolinska institute
in Stockholm Sweden, former director of molecular toxicology
within the Safety Assessment organization of the multinational
Pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and now Director of
Strategic Scientific Development and Networking at the newly
formed Swedish Toxicology Sciences Research Center, Swetox
(www.swetox.se), which links 11 Swedish universities in research,
education and societal support by the toxicological sciences. Ian
has many years of experience of mechanism-based risk assessment
ranging from modes of action of drugs and environmental
chemicals based on generation to reactive intermediates, the role
of protein and DNA adducts in triggering early events in toxicity
and regulation of cellular redox homeostasis. A keen interest in the
development of in vitro models for risk assessment has spanned
many organ and tissue types, and more recently involved work
with human stem cell derived systems.
Prof. Lofstedt has conducted research in risk communication and
management in such areas as renewable energy policy, transboundary
environmental issues (acid rain and nuclear power), health and safety,
telecommunications, biosafety, pharmaceuticals, and the siting of
building of incinerators, fuel policy, nuclear waste installations and
railways. He is a believer in the building of public trust in regulators and
industry via proactive risk communication and argues that high
regulatory/industry trust is equivalent to low public perceived risk.
In December 2000, Ragnar Löfstedt was awarded (as the first non
American) the Chauncey Starr Award for exceptional contributions to
the field of risk analysis for someone under the age of 40 by the Society
for Risk Analysis and in 2005 he was elected a Fellow of the Society for
Risk Analysis (SRA). In 2006 he was presented with the Outstanding
Service Award from the SRA.
Ian has served on a number of national and international research
funding committees dealing with the 3Rs, served as an advisor to
ECVAM and has acted as co-chairman of the Science Advisory
Board to the SEURAT-1 project from its inception.
Prof. Dr. Linda SENDEN
Professor of European Union Law, University of Utrecht
THE NETHERLANDS
Linda Senden studied international law (1992), European Studies (1992)
and Dutch law (1996) at the University of Amsterdam. She obtained her
doctorate degree in law in 2003 at Tilburg University for her thesis on
Soft law in European Community Law. Its relationship to legislation
(Hart Publishing, 2004).
She was lecturer in European law at the University of Amsterdam
(1992-1993) and Tilburg University (from 1994 onwards), where she
was later appointed professor of EU law (2004). She joined the Law
Department and Europa Instituut of Utrecht University in 2011, where
she holds the chair in EU law.
In her research she focuses on the institutional and constitutional
dimension of EU law, with a specific interest in regulatory and
enforcement aspects of the European integration process, in its
interaction with the national legal orders.
