Welcome

We are an interdisciplinary research team keenly interested in understanding the effects that chemicals have on the aquatic environment. Our specific strength is to link exposure to chemicals with effect assessment from the sub-cellular level to resulting organism, population and community level consequences. This extrapolation is based on theoretical knowledge and empirical evidence in chemical speciation and interaction with biological target sites.

Our focus is on a mechanistic understanding of the effects of chemicals, alone or in combination with other stressors, on aquatic organisms as a basis for knowledge-based environmental risk assessment and risk minimization.
