Xiaoxiong Ma is a Senior Engineer in NILU’s Health Effects Laboratory.
He is a molecular biologist with expertise in gene editing (CRISPR-Cas9), in vitro human and animal tissue models, stem cell models, microscopy, histology, RNA sequencing, gene expression, cell differentiation, and a wide range of in vitro toxicology assays.
Since 2022, he has worked as an engineer at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, in the Department of Biobanks, where he contributed to studies related to MoBa (the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study), and in parallel in the Department of Chemical Toxicology, where he performed laboratory work supporting the revision of the in vivo comet assay (OECD Test Guideline 489) to include analyses of male germ cells.
In 2024, Xiaoxiong joined NILU, working with PROPLANET, an EU Horizon Europe project developing safe, sustainable PFAS-free coatings for textiles, food packaging, and glass, with a focus on health-related toxicology endpoints.
Xiaoxiong Ma has 4 publications at NILU:
2025
2024
Enhanced Safe and Sustainable coatings for supporting the Planet (PROPLANET)
PROPLANET addresses novel coating materials solutions, tackling the problem from a sustainable-business perspective, enabling overcoming the barrier for environmental protection, safety, chemical improvements, and circular value chains. The main goal […]
