Dr. Sivakumar Murugadoss is a Scientist at NILU in the department of Environmental Chemistry and Health Effects. He specializes in toxicology, nanotoxicology, in vitro methods, Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs), Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment (IATA), and Safety-by-Design (SbD) concepts. He has served on the OECD Advisory Group on Emerging Science in Chemicals Assessment (ESCA) and the Belgian Society of Toxicology and Ecotoxicology (BelTox), contributing to international efforts to advance science-based chemical safety assessment.
Since joining NILU in 2024, he has worked on Horizon Europe projects such as ANALYST and PROPLANET, focusing on safe and sustainable PFAS-free coatings and plastics. His work applies Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) principles to define safety frameworks and contribute to the development of practical toolboxes for integrated, holistic SSbD assessment – supported by his expertise in hazard assessment, mechanistic in vitro toxicity, and new approach methodologies (NAMs). He is also expanding his capabilities in in silico and exposure modelling tools to strengthen early-stage SSbD evaluations.
He has contributed to several EU-funded projects, focusing on the integration of mechanistic toxicology, regulatory science, and safety considerations to enable next-generation hazard assessment and the design of safer, more sustainable chemicals and materials.
Sivakumar Murugadoss has 12 publications at NILU:

Strengthening the integrated approach of holistic impact assessments for Safe and Sustainable by Design plastic value chain (ANALYST)
ANALYST aims to accelerate the transition towards a safer and more sustainable industrial value chain while encouraging and expanding the existing knowledge on the safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) […]
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 […]
