Kai-Uwe Goss

Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Goss is a Professor for Analytical Environmental Chemistry at Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Faculty for Chemistry and Physics) and leads the Toxicokinetic Modeling group at the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ in Leipzig, Germany. His research focuses on computational modeling of chemical sorption, bioaccumulation, and membrane permeability with applications in environmental toxicology and forensic science.

• Academic Affiliation: Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg
• Research Institution: UFZ - Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research
• Leadership Role: Head of Toxicokinetic Modeling group

His scientific work bridges environmental chemistry, toxicokinetic modeling, and computational biophysics, particularly on topics like:

• Membrane permeability prediction for pharmaceutical and environmental chemicals
• Bioaccumulation of superhydrophobic substances in aquatic organisms
• Toxicological implications of PFAS and alternative chemicals
• Forensic applications of chemical detection (e.g., mantrailing with dogs)
• Computational tools for environmental risk assessment

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2021-2024) emphasize mechanistic modeling of membrane transport, bioconcentration in aquatic species, and chemical forensics. Key disciplines include pharmacology, ecotoxicology, and environmental analytical chemistry, with sub-fields like drug absorption mechanisms, computational toxicology, and chemical fate in ecosystems.

He collaborates extensively with researchers like Andrea Ebert, Sebastian Canzler, and Jörg Hackermüller across projects involving nanoINHALE, SafePol, and InCeTo.
