life and work

György András Csanády is studying chemistry at the Loránd Eötvös University in Budapest , focusing on biochemistry , pharmaceutical chemistry and physical chemistry . In his dissertation , Csanády dealt with the synthesis of alkylating enkephalin derivatives . From 1987 to 1989 he worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Analytical Chemistry, Micro- and Radiochemistry at the Technical University of Graz , before starting his work in the field of toxicology at the Institute for Occupational Physiology at the Technical University of Dortmund in 1989 and at the Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology in 1990 began in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina .

In 1991 he moved to the Institute for Toxicology at the Helmholtz Zentrum München and worked on toxicokinetics and the metabolism of workplace and environmental chemicals. In 1997 he was at the Technical University of Munich on "development of Inhalationskinetik" habilitation and 2003, he was here to work because of its extraordinary professor appointed. Until his death in 2011, his work focused primarily on the development of physiologically based toxicokinetic models and risk assessment. He developed substance-specific physiological-toxicological models, which u. a. were used to set limit values ​​for important environmental chemicals.
