George Johnson

Dr. George Johnson is an Associate Professor in the Institute of Life Science at Swansea University, UK. George obtained his PhD degree in Swansea 2006, under supervision of Professor Jim Parry, and since then has developed a great interest in the statistical approaches and underlying mechanisms that support points of departure (PoD) for genetic toxicity. This expertise has lead George to being a Steering Member of the International Life Science Institute – Health and Environmental Science Institute (ILSI-HESI) Genetic Toxicology Technical Committee (GTTC) http://www.hesiglobal.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3330 as well as being co-Chair of the GTTC ‘Quantitative Workgroup’. His work includes improving the quantitative use of genetic toxicity data for human-health risk-assessment (Johnson et al., 2014, EMM), and he links this to his great interest in replacing, reducing and refining (3Rs) the use of animals in research.
