Irene McGrath is the Managing Director and senior regulatory consultant with Kerona Scientific Ltd., Irelands largest regulatory consultancy. Following a degree in analytical science and Ph.D. in chemistry, Irene started work on analytical method validation before moving into regulatory affairs over 26 years ago. She now leads a multidisciplinary and multilingual team of scientists managing Kerona’s client projects for the EU and Middle Eastern regions. Since Ireland is the only EU Member State with a land border with the UK, Brexit is a very hot topic for the country, and Kerona develops Brexit strategies for its biocide, chemical and plant protection clients based both in the UK and the EU.
