About Rakesh Rajendran

As a passionate and highly skilled Senior Research Scientist with a robust background in toxicological risk assessment, I have dedicated my career to ensuring the safety and efficacy of products across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, and environmental sectors. My expertise encompasses critical areas such as Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) and Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) calculations, regulatory compliance, and comprehensive chemical safety evaluations.Throughout my professional journey, I have honed my ability to interpret complex toxicological data and navigate the intricacies of EU regulations, including REACH, CLP, EFSA, and EMA. My commitment to providing scientifically sound advice has been pivotal in supporting product safety and sustainability initiatives, ultimately contributing to the protection of human health and the environment.I am particularly focused on assessing the safety and biological effects of new drugs, chemicals, and medical products prior to their clinical trials. My career goals include:Developing expertise in toxicological assessments, including acute, chronic, and reproductive toxicity studies.Conducting rigorous animal studies and in vitro tests to identify potential risks.Ensuring compliance with regulatory standards set by esteemed bodies such as the FDA, EMA, and OECD.Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams of pharmacologists, pathologists, and chemists to predict human risks effectively.Advancing toxicological research through innovative models, such as alternative testing methods (e.g, organ-on-chip) and computational toxicology.Pursuing leadership roles within pharmaceutical or research organizations to guide product safety strategies and foster a culture of innovation.I am eager to leverage my analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills to contribute to groundbreaking projects that prioritize human and environmental health. Let\'s connect and explore opportunities to collaborate on initiatives that drive safety and sustainability in our ever-evolving world!Competencies: OECD | GLP | VALIDATION |TOXICOLOGY | Reproduction and Developmental Toxicology | Permitted Daily Exposure | Occupational Exposure Limit |
