Biography

Nikolai Georgiev Nikolov is a Senior Researcher in the Research Group for Chemical Risk Assessment at the Technical University of Denmark. His expertise centers around (Quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationships ((Q)SARs) and their application in toxicological assessments and regulatory compliance in chemistry. He is involved in developing and validating (Q)SAR models, aimed at predicting the biologic activity and toxic effects of chemical substances. His work also contributes to implementing models that reduce the number of animal tests necessary for chemical substance assessments, aligning with EU legislation such as REACH. Nikolov's current projects include the Partnership Assessment Risks Chemicals, focusing on novel assessment strategies for endocrine disruptors and developing robust databases for chemical modeling. He has collaborated extensively with both academic and government institutions to promote the acceptance and regulatory use of (Q)SARs in risk assessment practices across various domains. With a strong background in mathematics and computer science from Sofia University in Bulgaria, Nikolov brings a unique analytical perspective to chemical safety and risk evaluation.
