In order to meet the requirements of the REACH legislation alternative approaches, providing experimental data and based on the 3R principles (Replace, Reduce and Refine animal testing), are necessary
Molecular and Cellular Toxicology
A functional genomic study in zebrafish to elucidate the role of thyroid hormones and deiodinases in early embryonic development
Thyroid hormones (THs) are known to be essential for growth and development related processes in vertebrates in general and especially in early life stages.
Development of a biosensor for the detection of ergot alkaloids in food and feed
An aptamer-based biosensor will be constructed for a fast screening of mycotoxins in food samples.
Linkage of gene expression to classical endpoints as a result of contaminant exposure in the carp during a field study
Environmental risk assessment through chemical analysis reflects the condition in rivers only at the time of sampling and measuring all the present chemical substances is impossible.
INVITRAB: Sensitive and specific detection of contaminants in the environment and food chain, using specific biomolecules.
Due to the wide spread use of chemicals, pollution is impacting health and biota.
