About
Wanda Fields is a specialist in tobacco toxicology and in vitro smoke exposure methodology, with research focused on developing and refining systems for assessing the biological and toxicological impacts of tobacco smoke. Her most influential work centers on the use of advanced whole smoke exposure platforms, particularly the Vitrocell® VC10® system, which simulates in vivo respiratory conditions through air-liquid interface technologies. Fields has made significant methodological contributions to the field by addressing longstanding limitations in tobacco research. Her 2014 inter-machine comparison study — her most cited work with 49 citations — provided critical cross-laboratory validation of smoke particle deposition measurements, establishing a benchmark for experimental reproducibility across independent exposure systems. Subsequent work has advanced quantitative dosimetry methods, enabling more precise cytotoxicity and genotoxicity assessments of combustible tobacco products under whole smoke conditions, moving the field away from reliance on partitioned exposure techniques. Collectively, her publications have garnered over 70 citations, reflecting their practical value to researchers designing standardized in vitro tobacco testing protocols. Fields' work plays an important role in improving the scientific rigor of regulatory toxicology, with implications for both public health research and the evaluation of tobacco product safety.
