Kai is a Senior Consultant within Blue Frog focusing on in silico assessment and risk assessment of chemicals, agrochemicals, and biocides.

Kai is also an expert in the toxicity of nanoparticles, prior to joining Blue Frog working on the EU funded NanoTEST project, researching the toxicity and distribution of nanoparticles in a model placental cell line at the Bristol Initiative for Research of Child Health.  Kai’s Ph.D, funded by the US-EPA and NERC, focused on the environmental impact of nanomaterials using the model organism Daphnia magna. The aim of the work is to establish common themes in nanomaterial fate, both biologically and within the environment, and their associated toxicity. The aim of the research was to provide a basis for the development of specific risk assessment procedures for nanoparticles.
