Grace Patlewicz is a chemist/toxicologist by training having obtained a degree in chemistry from the University of Manchester, UK, a Masters degree in toxicology from the University of Surrey, UK and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
Early on in her career she joined Unilever's Safety and Environmental Assurance Centre in the UK as a safety evaluation scientist before developing a keen interest in computational toxicology and moving on to a role which involved providing modeling and chemistry expertise to both internal and external projects. Ultimately she led the QSAR group.
She then joined the (Q)SAR group at the European Chemicals Bureau within the Joint Research Centre, Italy to gain a better appreciation of the regulatory application of (Q)SARs. There, she was involved in many of the activities related to the development of technical guidance for REACH, investigating the feasibility of using computational approaches in the development of chemical categories, developing and evaluating (Q)SAR models for human health as well as coordinating the technical development of software tools such as Toxtree (a tool which encodes the Cramer classification scheme amongst others) and Toxmatch (a tool for chemical similarity).
In February 2008, she made a return to Industry taking up a position within DuPont in the US as a computational modeller.
