About
Tom Krebs is a leading figure in the field of in vitro toxicology, with a primary focus on the respiratory effects of tobacco smoke and aerosol exposure. His major contributions center on the development and standardization of whole smoke exposure systems, which are critical for accurately assessing the biological impact of inhaled substances. Krebs is best known for his landmark 2014 study, which conducted an inter-machine comparison of tobacco smoke particle deposition across six independent systems—a work that has garnered 49 citations and serves as a foundational reference for experimental reproducibility. This research, utilizing advanced tools like the Vitrocell® VC 10 Smoking Robot and quartz crystal microbalances, has helped refine methodologies for quantifying particle deposition in vitro, directly influencing regulatory and product safety assessments. Beyond this, Krebs’s work is notable for bridging engineering and biology, enabling more realistic models of human exposure. His achievements have positioned him as a key contributor to the field, with his findings guiding both academic research and industry practices in tobacco harm reduction. For students and researchers, his studies underscore the importance of rigorous system validation in inhalation toxicology.
