It's finally published in ES&T: We developed a PBK model for BPA analogues with a multimodal parameterization approach. 👉 yes we can! (predict biokinetics without in vivo data) 👉 analogues reach much higher internal concentrations than BPA #toxicology #plastics #EDCs pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Human Internal Exposures of Bisphenol A and Six Data-Poor Analogs Predicted by Physiologically Based Kinetic Models with Multimodal Parametrization
Bisphenols (BP) AF, B, E, F, M, and S are increasingly used as bisphenol A (BPA) substitutes. Despite widespread exposure and potential adverse health outcomes, they are poorly understood in terms of ...

Huge news, as #BPA will be completely banned from food contact materials in Europe. I can already think of some BPA alternatives that should come next. :-) food.ec.europa.eu/food-safety-...

Commission adopts ban of Bisphenol A in food contact materials
The Commission has today adopted a ban on the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) in food contact materials, due to its potentially harmful health impact. BPA is a chemical substance used in the manufacture of c...

Check out our new pre-print (submitted to EHP)! We developed PBTK models to predict ADME of six data-poor #BPA analogues in distinct population groups. Spoiler alert: they behave quite differently. A strong argument against read-across and considering replacement BPs "similar" to BPA in toxicity.

Quite a day at the Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society of Toxicology with talks by @georgaichinger.bsky.social (microbiome-competent PK modeling) & @vakil-takhaveev.bsky.social (DNA damage sequencing). Special Congrats to PhDs Alona Slastennikova and Blandine Descamps who received poster awards!💪🥳
