Dr. Eleonora Longhin is a senior scientist at NILU in the department of Environmental Chemistry and Health Effects. She is a biologist with expertise in (advanced) in vitro models for assessing the toxicological effects and mechanisms of action of airborne particulate matter (PM), nanomaterials and other emerging contaminants. Her competencies include predictive toxicology, mode of action analysis, and the integration of mechanistic hazard data into Next-Generation Risk Assessment (NGRA) frameworks.

A key focus of her recent work is the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach, embedding safety considerations from the earliest stages of chemicals and materials development. In this context, she contributes to defining testing strategies, developing mechanistic hazard assessment methods, and translating toxicological evidence into recommendations that minimize risks throughout the product life cycle. Through the European projects PROPLANET, ANALYST and PARC, Dr. Longhin actively collaborates with industrial partners, regulators, and academic institutions to ensure that innovative materials meet both performance and safety requirements in line with European policy objectives.

Beyond her research, she has played pivotal roles in large-scale collaborative initiatives, acting as project manager for the H2020 project RiskGONE and serving as Principal Investigator, task or Work Package leader, for several national and international projects. She is also a member of the Toxicology Section Board of the Norwegian Society of Pharmacology and Toxicology (NSFT).
