Katia Pauwels
Professor, Department of Biotechnology and Biosafety, Institute of Public Health
Brussels, Belgium
Katia Pauwels obtained her PhD in Applied Biological Sciences in 2003 at the Free University of Brussels. She joined the Biosafety and Biotechnology Unit of the Scientific Institute of Public Health in the same year and started her activities mainly with the risk evaluation of biosafety regulatory dossiers and the elaboration of recommendations related to the contained use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pathogens. While providing scientific support to the Belgian Biosafety Advisory Council, the Belgian Competent Authorities and EU working groups, her activities have been broadened to the risk evaluation of application dossiers for the deliberate release into the environment, the placing on the market and the transboundary movement of genetically modified organisms. She contributed to several peer-reviewed publications, guidelines and recommendations and she had a major role in the organization of an international Symposium aiming at gathering experts involved in risk assessment/evaluation of GMOs and scientists involved in basic or applied research.
