Research Interests
- Develop new approach methodologies (NAMs) to reduce unnecessary animal testing
- Explore different computational (in silico) approaches – including QSARs and correlation models – for predicting chronic fish toxicity
- Investigate alternative approaches based on embryo- and cellular-based assays for standard chronic fish toxicity testing
