  • Summary

  • In this episode I am joined by Claire Walker, Head of Global Regulations and Product Safety at bio-economy startup Holiferm.

    We also discuss Clare’s work in mammalian toxicology and regulatory compliance, the contrast between working in a startup vs a multinational corporation, the regulatory challenges facing start-ups in the bioeconomy, animal testing and the friction between the EU cosmetic products and REACH regulations, the new hazards under EU CLP, evolving regulatory processes and the need for dialogue, and other topics.
