About
George R. Jackson is a leading toxicologist whose research focuses on developing advanced in vitro models to assess the respiratory effects of inhaled substances, particularly from emerging tobacco and nicotine products. His major contributions center on creating physiologically relevant, human-based test systems that replace traditional animal models for evaluating aerosol toxicity. His most cited work, a 2015 paper with 134 citations, details the development of an acute in vitro cytotoxicity assay using 3D reconstructed human airway tissue. This groundbreaking method provides a standardized, human-relevant platform for analyzing the potential irritant effects of e-cigarette aerosols on the respiratory tract. By optimizing this MTT assay, Jackson has provided regulators and industry with a critical tool for product safety assessment, directly influencing how novel nicotine delivery systems are evaluated for their biological impact. His work represents a significant advance in the field of inhalation toxicology, bridging the gap between laboratory testing and human respiratory health.
