Toxicology including genetic toxicology, acute toxicology, repeat-dose toxicology and reprotoxicology. Exposure assessment. Risk assessment of chemicals using New Approach Methologies. Projects that I am involved in are EuroMix (risk assessment of mixtures of chemicals), ONTOX (Using New Approach Methologies in the risk assessment of chemicals), POLYRISK (exposure and health effects of nano- and microplastics), Eximious and EXPOSIM (where the exposome meets the immunesystem), and PARC (Partnership for the Assessment of Risk from Chemicals). In PARC, I am grant signatory for Norway, and task leader in 5.1.1 (to study the hazards of chemicals for human health with a focus on mycotoxins and BPA-alternatives). In PARC I am project leader for PlasticLeach (the hazards of chenicals leaching from plastics for human health. Health effects of micro- and nanoplastics.
