iTox – integrative toxicology
In iTox we aim to integrate data and knowledge from different fields of toxicology to investigate molecular toxicological events and their relation to adverse outcomes at different scales. The integration of own data with knowledge and data from databases and other sources is key in our research that aims at understanding general and specific toxicological processes relevant for human and environmental health with a particular focus on chemical mixtures.
Chemical mixture risk assessment
We collect, investigate and apply mode of action knowledge and effect data of chemicals for environmental mixture risk assessment, predict mixture effects at different scales and investigate and identify mixture risk drivers with a main focus on the aquatic environment.
“Something from nothing” or combined hazards of environmental pollutants
Patterns and mechanisms of toxicological responses
We work on the investigation, modelling and visualisation of toxicogenomic and morphological effects and study time and concentration dependencies as well as mixture and recovery effects, mainly using the zebrafish embryo model organism but also data from other test systems.
Predicted and observed whole transcriptome responses after mixture exposures
Tools and software
We develop tools for data management, integration, and visualization, as well as respective workflows for producing and providing FAIR data in toxicology.
The tfp-browser
- a R Shiny tool for exploration and visualization of whole transcriptome toxicogenomic data obtained with the zebrafish embryo model for more than 70 chemicals (Schüttler et al. 2019)
The INTOB Software
- an integrated software and database for effect observations on organism scale (Michaelis et al. 2024)
