About Me

I am a PhD student passionate about contributing to the endeavor of our lab, to develop a cell-line based alternative to animal testing for environmental risk assessments. The focus of my PhD research is, "Enhancing the robustness of in vitro cell-based toxicological assessments for organic pesticides."

Projects

Quantification of chemical toxicity continues to be based mainly on measurements of external exposure. Yet, in order to understand, interpret and extrapolate toxic effects, using internal concentrations of chemicals is more suitable...

Predicting biotransformation and bioconcentration of organic chemicals in fish
Fish are the most frequently used vertebrates in regulatory ecotoxicology. Numerous OECD guidelines depend on the use of fish, including OECD 203 (acute fish test), OECD 210 (early life stage toxicity test) and OECD 305 (bioconcentration test)...

Predicting acute fish toxicity using in vitro models
The project, funded by 3R Research Foundation Switzerland (3R-Project 145-15) aims to develop an animal-free alternative to replace experiments with fish for quantifying the impact of chemicals on fish growth at early life stages...

Predicting chemical impact on fish growth based on modelling and in vitro cellular responses
