Bio
Dr. Lucian A. Lucia currently serves as Professor in the Departments of Forest Biomaterials and Chemistry and as faculty in the programs of Fiber & Polymer Science and Environmental Sciences at North Carolina State University. His laboratory, The Laboratory of Soft Materials & Green Chemistry, probes fundamental materials science topics focused on the chemistry of renewable polymers. He received his Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry from the University of Florida for modeling photoinduced charge separation states of novel Rhenium (I)-based organometallic ensembles as a first order approximation of photosynthesis. He began his professional career as an Assistant Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology examining the mechanism of singlet oxygen’s chemistry with lignin & cellulose. A large part of his recent work has been focused on the chemical modification of cellulosics for advanced applications. He teaches The Principles of Green Chemistry (PSE/CH 335) and Pulp Processing Analysis (PSE 371) at NCSU. He has co-founded and co-edits an open-access international research journal, BioResources, that is dedicated to original research articles, reviews, and editorials on the fundamental science & engineering and advanced applications of lignocellulosic materials.

- Lucian Lucia was just tagged in a comment: Hi @Lucian Lucia,Pardon the late response. I did a thorough research on journals that might help you. Thank you for your thoughtful post and for sharing your interests in predictive toxicology, benign-by-design principles, and the broader field of green toxicology! It's fantastic to see your passion for integrating these approaches into education and practice. Let me address your inquiries with some resources that I believe will be helpful in your journey: 1. Predictive ToxicologyFor designing safer chemicals using computational models and in vitro methods, this article offers an excellent starting point: A Review on Alternative Methods to Experimental Animal Models. It delves into how in silico tools and alternative methods can predict compound toxicity before synthesis, providing faster and more ethical solutions. 2. Benign-by-Design PrinciplesTo explore how to design inherently safer chemicals and materials, the concept of benign-by-design is covered in this detailed resource: Benign by Design Principles. It explains how to select safer raw materials and ensure molecules degrade into non-toxic byproducts, a perfect fit for your teaching goals. 3. Alternative Testing MethodsReducing reliance on animal testing is a crucial step. This comprehensive review explores vitro assays, in silico modeling, and omics methods that provide faster, more ethical ways to assess toxicity. 4. Lifecycle AnalysisFor evaluating environmental and health impacts across a chemical’s lifecycle, this resource from SETAC provides valuable insights. It offers guidance on using lifecycle analysis to identify opportunities for reducing toxicity at every stage. 5. Minimizing Exposure to Toxic ChemicalsThis OSHA guide on controlling exposure outlines strategies to reduce human and environmental exposure, including safer manufacturing processes, better containment, and improved PPE protocols. 6. Regulatory FrameworksUnderstanding frameworks like REACH and TSCA is critical. The EPA provides a detailed overview of chemical safety regulations and compliance in this resource: EPA Chemical Safety Regulations. 7. Real-World ExamplesTo highlight practical applications of green toxicology, this article on ethical chemistry practices might resonate with your goals: A More Ethical Chemistry. It provides case studies that illustrate the challenges and successes of implementing green chemistry principles in industry. 8. Ethics and SustainabilityFinally, for a broad perspective on ethics and sustainability in chemistry, this open-access article might be helpful: Environmental Sciences Europe Article. It provides a thoughtful look at long-term standards and considerations in green toxicology. I hope these resources address your inquiries and spark further exploration in these fascinating topics. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss any of these points in more detail. Best of luck in your journey into toxicology, you're on an impactful path! Warm regards,Jerald...
