Research Interests
Establishing a high-content analysis of complex mixtures with the zebrafish embryo model.
My research is focusing on analyzing complex chemical mixtures using zebrafish embryo (Danio rerio) to enhance environmental risk assessment. This work integrates chemical monitoring with effect-based approaches to better understand the environmental and human health impacts of chemical pollutants.
Research Summary
• High content assessment of artificial model mixtures.
• High content assessment of prototype mixture informed by environmental data.
• Application to environmental sample extracts.
