Mark Cronin is Professor of Predictive Toxicology at the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, UK. He has over 35 years’ experience in the application of in silico approaches to predict the toxicity and fate of chemicals; in addition to development of strategies to develop alternatives to whole animal testing for toxicity. His current research includes the application of chemical grouping and read-across to assess human health and environmental endpoints, particularly the linking of Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) to category information. This research effort has resulted in four books and over 330 publications in all areas of the use of (Q)SARs, expert systems and read-across to predict toxicity. Current research activities also include the assessment of uncertainties in silico models as well as ensuring these models are FAIR. He has worked in numerous projects in this area including more than fifteen EU projects, as well as assisting in the uptake of in silico methods for regulatory purposes.
