Projekte

The goal of PrecisionTox is to improve chemical safety assessment to better protect human health and the environment by using non-traditional test species, multiple fields of knowledge, and powerful computational approaches to understand which chemicals are toxic and why.

DaNa4.0 is a science communication project dealing with the safety of innovative materials. Complex, toxicological issues from current materials research are presented in a generally understandable way for non-scientists (interested consumers, journalists, politicians, NGOs, etc.) on a website.

Logo des Forschungsvorhabens

PlasticsFatE - Plastics Fate and Effects in the human body aims at improving our present understanding of the impact of micro- and nano-plastics (MP/NP) and associated additives/adsorbed contaminants (A/C) in the human body. To do so, reliable and validated methods will be developed that are able to generate the science-based data we need. PlasticsFatE is a 48-month project funded by the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme of the European Union. The project will run from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2025.

Logo Climshift

We are partners of the project Climshift. The objective is 'A mechanistic understanding of stressors interactions acting on shallow aquatic systems'.

LaBeglo 2 (“Lake Baikal and biological effects of global change 2”) is a German-Russian funded "Helmholtz-RSF Joint Research Group". Partners are the Irkutsk
State University, the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and the University of Leipzig. UNESCO world heritage site Lake Baikal in Siberia is the world’s largest lake and a global freshwater biodiversity hotspot. The project explores effects of the current global change on this ecosystem.
