It’s been almost a week since the conclusion of the inspiring 9th Impurities #Egenotoxic congress. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from outstanding professionals and to further strengthen connections with amazing colleagues. Quality and safety always go hand in hand, supporting each other to prevent risks and ensure the most technologically and scientifically safe product for human health.

Wrapping up an inspiring conference at the #Egenotoxic in Vienna. One key challenge echoed through many sessions: navigating a fragmented regulatory landscape. In particular, the ongoing inconsistencies around the acceptance of durational-based limits, whether for nitrosamines or non-mutagenic impurities, and the required supportive in vitro/in vivo genotoxicity testing continue to create a lot of uncertainty. As Dr. Lutz Mueller reminded us, carcinogenic risk is never as simple as a single number. Beyond mechanistic or epigenetic factors, it’s shaped by study design, biological variability, and interspecies differences. Over-simplifying that complexity can lead to over-conservatism, which also carries consequences for patients. On a more positive note, it was encouraging to hear that NDSRI test results so far suggest much lower potency than small dialkyl nitrosamines, hopefully paving the way for more pragmatic, science-based approaches. Stay tuned for some very promising work from Johnson et al. A special highlight for me was meeting David Ponting from Lhasa Limited, whose work I’ve long admired, and even managing to capture the moment! Grateful for the openness and generosity of everyone I connected with, and energized to keep learning, exchanging, and contributing to this fast-moving field.
