 Romualdo Benigni received his education in chemistry at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". He then joined the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italian National Institute of Health) where he got a permanent position in 1977, and where he remained except for two sabbaticals, at the New York University in 1988 and at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi in 2000. He worked experimentally in the field of molecular biology and environmental chemical mutagenesis. In the 1980's, he turned his attention to the statistical analysis and modeling of toxicological data, and to the study of the relationships between the structure of organic compounds and their toxicological properties (mainly mutagenesis and carcinogenesis). Dr. Benigni has published over 160 journal articles and book chapters, applying a wide variety of quantitative analysis techniques, including (Q)SAR, to the examination of chemical toxicity information.
