About

Otto Meyer is a pioneering figure in toxicology, best known for his transformative contributions to the field of 21st-century toxicity testing. His landmark report, *Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A Vision and a Strategy* (2010), which has garnered over 1,675 citations, fundamentally reshaped how chemical safety is assessed. Meyer’s work champions a shift from traditional animal-based methods to high-throughput, human-relevant in vitro assays and computational models, dramatically increasing testing efficiency while reducing animal usage. His vision has driven the adoption of mechanistic toxicology, emphasizing pathways of toxicity and predictive risk assessment. Beyond this seminal report, Meyer’s research has advanced the integration of systems biology and omics technologies into regulatory science, influencing global policy and safety standards. His achievements include leading interdisciplinary initiatives that bridge academia, industry, and government agencies, making him a key architect of modern, ethical, and scientifically robust toxicology. For students and researchers, Meyer’s legacy offers a blueprint for innovation in public health and environmental protection.
