Bell Labs Names John Lublinkhof Director of Regulatory Affairs

In this role, Lublinkhof oversees Bell’s regulatory group, which is active both in the U.S. and internationally. Lublinkhof also will serve on task forces, committees and groups outside the company. This includes the Rodenticide Stakeholder Working Group, which gives important input about rodenticides being evaluated under EPA’s Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED). The Rodenticide Stakeholder Working Group includes pest control industry representatives, medical doctors, several government agencies, CDC officials, public health officials, as well as environmental groups.

Lublinkhof told PCT that rodenticide issues that have arisen as a result of EPA’s Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) are one of his primary focuses. “It’s important that we do whatever is needed to keep these products alive and well,” he said.

Lublinkhof has been involved in the chemical industry for 25 years, including the last four years at AgraQuest Inc., where he worked as a product development specialist. Lublinkhof began employment with Bell Labs on Aug. 1, replacing David Rickard who previously held the position.
