About
Dr. Anna G. Maione is a leading toxicologist whose research focuses on the comparative safety assessment of tobacco and nicotine products, with a particular emphasis on developing advanced, animal-free testing methodologies. Her most cited work, "Toxicological comparison of cigarette smoke and e-cigarette aerosol using a 3D in vitro human respiratory model" (2019, 85 citations), represents a significant contribution to the field. In this landmark study, Dr. Maione pioneered the use of a sophisticated three-dimensional human respiratory model to directly contrast the toxicological profiles of conventional cigarette smoke and e-cigarette aerosol. This innovative approach not only provided critical data on the relative harm reduction potential of e-cigarettes but also advanced the global initiative to replace, reduce, and refine animal testing in toxicology. By demonstrating a practical, human-relevant alternative to traditional animal models, her work has helped shape regulatory science and safety assessment frameworks. Dr. Maione’s research is instrumental in informing public health discussions and policy decisions regarding novel nicotine delivery systems, making her a key voice in the evolving landscape of respiratory toxicology.
