About
Dr. Nicole Tschierske is a leading toxicologist specializing in the development and application of advanced in vitro models for respiratory toxicology, with a particular focus on the comparative safety assessment of tobacco and nicotine products. Her most cited work, a 2019 study on the toxicological comparison of cigarette smoke and e-cigarette aerosol using a 3D human respiratory model (85 citations), represents a significant contribution to the field. This research pioneered the use of complex, physiologically relevant in vitro systems to evaluate the relative harm of emerging nicotine delivery technologies, directly supporting the global initiative to replace, reduce, and refine animal testing. Dr. Tschierske's work provides critical scientific evidence for regulatory and public health discussions surrounding e-cigarette safety, demonstrating how innovative 3D models can offer more human-relevant toxicological data than traditional methods. Her research continues to shape the development of next-generation risk assessment strategies for inhaled substances, establishing her as a key figure in the transition toward animal-free safety science.
