I am full professor Occupational Medicine and Toxicology at the Centre for Environment and Health of the University of Leuven. I investigate the impact of (work) environment on health in workers by unraveling the underlying mechanism and the reverse, how health can affect work (dis)ability. I am member of the division Laboratory of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene at the KU Leuven, specialized in monitoring, sampling and analyzing airborne contaminants as well as in analyzing biological samples using state-of-the-art equipment (e.g. UPLC/MS/MS, SPMEGC/MS). I am CEO at group IDEWE, which engages in the provision occupational health and safety services as the largest External Service for Prevention and Protection at Work in Belgium and IBEVE, which provides advice in Environment and Safety. Group Idewe’s 1000 employees are committed to serving 36.000 companies and their employees. This dual academic–practice position uniquely situates him at the interface of clinical occupational medicine, workplace implementation, and policy advisory. He coordinates the Belgian NIDMAR program. His strategic added value lies in bridging micro-level clinical data, with meso-level workplace interventions, toward macro-level policy. He supports precision RTW strategies, where reintegration decisions are informed by individual response profiles, not just job titles. A distinctive contribution is his work on exposome-based and occupational health, enabling the identification of individual susceptibility to environmental and occupational stressors, the early detection of subclinical effects affecting cognitive and physical performance, and the development of personalized reintegration pathways, optimizing both work readiness and long-term health. Lode Godderis has excellent experience as board member and chair in several organisations.
