معرفی
Freddy Van Goethem is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. He specializes in in vitro toxicology and dermato-cosmetology, focusing on liver toxicity mechanisms and drug-induced injuries. Previously held the role of Scientific Director - Fellow at Janssen Research and Development (1996–2023).
Education:
- PhD in Biology/Toxicology (1991–1995): Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Research Interests: His work integrates transcriptomics and computational methods to predict liver toxicity, particularly in drug and cosmetic development. Key areas include cholestasis modeling, AI-driven risk assessment frameworks, and regulatory toxicology. He collaborates extensively on liver-related projects such as the Brussels Liver Research consortium (B-LIVER).
Collaborations & Projects:
- Leading contributor to the IOF3035 B-LIVER 2.0 (2025–2029) and IOF3013 GEAR (2020–2024) consortia, focusing on liver therapeutics and product safety.
Key Contributions:
- Developed advanced modeling frameworks for drug-induced cholestasis prediction.
- Pioneered next-generation risk assessment methodologies for cosmetics (e.g., hair dye toxicity).
- Authored 14 peer-reviewed publications and datasets on toxicology and pharmacology.
