The Zelltox team supported a new version of MLinvitroTox, a machine learning-assisted tool for high throughput hazard based prioritization of high resolution mass spectrometry data that was developed at Eawag by Arturi et al. (link to publication)
Our contributions were improved prediction models for in vitro toxicity.

Team News

Welcome to our new PhD student Yuxin Liu in the QTOX project. Yuxin started with the QTOX annual meeting in Valencia where she (second from left) and other QTOX doctoral candidates inspected the mesocosms for our joint QTOX mesocosm study in 2026. Yuxin’s project will deal with quantitative in vitro to vivo extrapolations from cells to fish.

New partnership

On 10 October 2024 we kicked off the project "Developing high-throughput experimental and computational tools for safe-by-design chemicals – Proof of principle for antioxidants”- a collaboration between Eawag, ETH Zürich, University of Zurich and UFZ funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and led by Prof. Kathrin Fenner. We welcome Bernadette Mederer into the Zelltox team as the UFZ PhD student in this project. More info on Link

Poster Presentation

We welcome Haotian Wang from Beijing for a two-year postdoc sponsored by the Humboldt foundation. Haotian gave a poster presentation about his project at the Humboldt Network Meeting in Magdeburg from 24 to 26 April. In his project at UFZ, he will identify neurotoxic chemicals in the aquatic environment by integrating data science with impact-oriented analysis using high-throughput bioanalytical tools.
