Dr. Andrea Haase is a German toxicologist and Head of the Unit “Fibre and Nanotoxicology” at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Berlin, where she leads research on the health risks of nanomaterials and fibres, particularly at the cellular and molecular level, while contributing to European regulatory frameworks such as REACH. She is actively involved in major EU-funded projects including POLYRISK (on micro- and nanoplastics and their health effects), HARMLESS (developing Safe-by-Design approaches for advanced materials), NanoHarmony (harmonizing OECD test guidelines for nanomaterials), and NAMS4NANO (advancing non-animal New Approach Methodologies for risk assessment). Alongside her project work, she has co-authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in journals such as ALTEX and Journal of Cheminformatics, focusing on grouping and read-across strategies, proteomics and omics-based toxicity analysis, and the development of innovative, regulatory-relevant testing frameworks, helping to shape modern nanosafety science and policy in Europe.
