Jerry Achar

Jerry holds a BSc. in Environmental Science from Kenyatta University and an MSc. in Environmental Engineering from Korea University. During his master’s study, he was broadly involved in research related to emerging organic micropollutants in freshwater systems: occurrence, toxicity, toxicokinetic effect estimation, and degradation. Jerry has always been passionate about research entwining toxic chemicals, human health, alternative to animal testing approaches (e.g., computation in silico toxicology methods), and chemical regulation, so it was an easy decision to progress to pursue his Ph.D. in this interdisciplinary field. Jerry feels so privileged to join the Egesta lab, comprising an experienced multidisciplinary team, under the supervision of Dr. Gunilla Öberg, where he will get the opportunity to develop his academic and research skills to become an independent researcher in the field of Toxicology.
