Karin van Ede

Karin van Ede is a Visiting Researcher at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Utrecht University. Her work focuses on toxicology and environmental health, particularly the effects of dioxin-like compounds and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on human and rodent systems. She is affiliated with the Education Centre within the Faculty.

• Specializes in AhR-mediated toxicity and systemic relative effect potencies
• Conducts comparative studies across species (human, rat, mouse) and tissues
• Active in computational modeling and QSAR development for pollutant risk assessment
• Participates in international conferences like Dioxin 2013 (Korea) and Dioxin 2010

Her research utilizes both in vitro and in silico approaches to improve human-specific risk assessment of environmental pollutants. She has extensive publication history focused on toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) and cytochrome P450 gene expression as biomarkers.
