From 2014 to 2016, he served as President of the Federation of European Toxicologists. He also founded a commercial spinoff company, ToxPlus SA.

Research
Tsatsakis's research is based on hormesis, interpreting “real-life human exposure” scenarios based on a long-term, low-dose exposure to chemical mixtures as well as “real-life risk simulation” studies.

He was previously editor-in-chief of Toxicology Reports, and an editor or guest editor for journals including Food and Chemical Toxicology, Toxicology, Toxicology Letters, and Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine.

He is a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) and of the World Academy of Sciences. He has an honorary degree from the Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Romania.
