VALCKE Mathieu
Scientific advisor, Head of Toxicological and radiological risk assessment Group, Institut national de santé publique du Québec
Since 2004, Expert toxicologist and institutionnal researcher at Quebec’s national institute of public health, where he’s the head of the scientific team on toxicological and radiological health risk assessment. He holds a PhD in toxicological risk and public health from the University of Montreal.
He also holds a position as a clinical adjunct professor at the department of environmental and occupational health from the University of Montreal. His research interests focus on improving the toxicologial health risk assessment methods by stochastic modelling approaches to chemical exposure and the use of human biomonitoring data on environmental contaminants.
