David has been working in the tobacco industry as a pre-clinical scientist for 17 years. His work has primarily been focused on the development of in vitro assays for the assessment of cigarette smoke using aerosol exposure systems to more appropriately mimic human inhalation routes of exposure. His experiences cover in vitro genotoxicological, 21st century toxicology, mechanistic screening approaches and 3D physiological models of disease processes. More recently he has adapted his experiences and applied them to the e-cigarette and tobacco heating product environment and helped establish best practices for product assessment of these new categories. David has been the pioneer in advancing in vitro whole aerosol exposure systems, their application and development, creating some innovative and tailored solutions in the in vitro space. David sits on various industry working groups (CORESTA and IIVS) aimed at the standardisation of in vitro assessment approaches which becomes especially important in the light of increased regulation. David is extensively published with more than 40 peer-reviewed publications to name.

Christopher Russell Ph.D. is the Director of Russell Burnett Research and Consultancy Limited
(RBRC), a contract research organization (CRO) that specializes in the design and conduct of perception and behavioral studies of tobacco and nicotine products. Quantitative and qualitative studies are designed to obtain information about individuals’ use and perceptions of tobacco and nicotine products; understanding of information presented in a product’s label, labelling, and advertising; and intentions to stop, start, and continue using tobacco and nicotine products. The results of these studies help to inform regulatory assessments of the potential impact of new tobacco and nicotine products on future use behavior among tobacco users and nonusers, and so may be submitted as part of premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs), modified risk tobacco product applications (MRTPAs), or other applicable regulatory submissions.
