Niels Hadrup

Niels Hadrup is a senior researcher at the Research Group for Risk Benefit within the National Food Institute at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His work focuses on toxicological risk assessment of environmental chemicals, nanomaterials, and food contact substances, contributing significantly to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and environmental protection.

His research spans Nanotoxicology, Endocrine Disruption, and Chemical Mixture Risk Assessment. Key interests include pulmonary toxicity of nanoparticles, biokinetics of inhaled materials, genotoxicity screening, and endocrine disruptor mechanisms in adipose tissue. His fingerprint reveals expertise in Perfluorononanoic Acid, Selenium Nanoparticles, Environmental Chemicals, and Lung Toxicity assessment.

Recent publications show strong focus on nanoparticle biokinetics (2024-2025), pulmonary inflammation testing methods (2025), and mixture toxicity modeling (2013-2015). His work bridges experimental toxicology with computational risk assessment approaches.

Dr. Hadrup actively supervises PhD students and participates in major DTU research projects. He serves as examiner and supervisor for doctoral candidates including Nanna Davidsen (PFAS risk assessment), Kristine Skov (endocrine disruptor metabolomics), and Katrine Kongsbak (computational toxicology). His grant portfolio includes EUROTOX conference participation and national projects on food contact materials.

He has presented at key venues including the 49th EUROTOX Congress (2013) and delivered lectures on toxicological risk assessment (2014). His 2010 media contribution "Nanopartiklers toksicitet" demonstrates public engagement with nanoparticle safety issues.
