ETOX PhD Student Nadia K. Herold and Postdoc David Leuthold honored at the 2024 Society of Toxicology Meeting in Salt Lake City, UT, USA

Nadia’s research (use of multi-behavioral fingerprints to identify neuroactive environmental chemicals) was honored with four awards including the Molecular and Systems Biology Specialty Section Graduate Student Research Award and the renowned Carl C. Smith Graduate Student Award and also recognized by the Toshio Narahashi Trainee Conference Endowment Award.
David's research (identifying and elucidating the mechanisms of chemicals that disrupt non-associative learning using a novel multi-behavioral assay battery in larval zebrafish) earned three awards including the Molecular and Systems Biology Specialty Section Postdoctoral Scholar Research Award, the Neurotoxicology Specialty Section Toshio Narahashi Postdoctoral Scholar Poster Competition Award and the Mechanisms Specialty Section Sheldon D. Murphy Postdoctoral Endowment Award.

Projekte

Logo Precisiontox Original

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.

https://precisiontox.org/


With MANTRA - data on innovative materials for sustainability and transfer - the BMBF is funding a scientific communication project for 3.5 years from January 2024 for networking, public relations and the development of indicators for sustainability as well as industry/practice transfer. These topics will be communicated via a website, brochures and information flyers using an interdisciplinary approach. In addition to the UFZ, the project consortium consists of the partners DECHEMA (coordination), KIT, TU Berlin and the subcontractor NanoCASE.


PlasticsFatE
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.
