About
The Institute focuses on a range of aquatic and environmental research areas. Our aquatic toxicology tests evaluate the toxic effects of chemicals and environmental samples (e.g., PFAS, pesticides, mixtures, pharmaceuticals, microplastics) across trophic levels in acute and chronic studies, from rapid microbial assays to two-generation fish tests. Using BLYES/BLYAS/BLYR bioreporters and our self-developed estrogen-sensitive bioindicator zebrafish line (Tg(vtg1.mCherry)), we can measure the endocrine-disrupting effects of environmental samples (also mixtures) to support risk assessment. Our environmental microbiology expertise includes classical and molecular methods for analysing microbial (bacterial and fungal) communities (including testing for AMR) and assessing their potential to degrade xenobiotics.
