Waldo de Boer

Waldo de Boer is a Researcher at Biometris, Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands, specializing in food safety risk assessment with emphasis on dietary exposure and cumulative pesticide risk evaluation. His work directly supports European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) initiatives through development of the Monte Carlo Risk Assessment (MCRA) platform for integrated exposure analysis.

Research focus areas include:

• Cumulative dietary risk assessment methodologies
• Pesticide residue exposure modeling
• Uncertainty quantification in toxicological extrapolation
• Food consumption data integration
• In vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE)
• Prospective/retrospective regulatory risk frameworks

Recent publications demonstrate concentrated advancement in MCRA platform capabilities, particularly for data interoperability and regulatory implementation of cumulative risk assessment. His work bridges computational modeling with practical food safety policy, addressing critical gaps in pesticide exposure evaluation through innovative statistical approaches and platform development.
