Come say Hello!
Postdoctoral assistant
There is more microplastic in our environment than there are stars in the milky way.
Postdoctoral assistant
I aim to understand micro- and nanoparticle induced neurotoxicity.
Guest staff member
Small in size, big in impact. The potential risks of micro- and nanoparticles for our health.
PhD student
The aim of this research is exploring the links between local water contamination and aquatic ecosystem effects and human health problems.
PhD student
Ingestion is an important exposure route of AgNPs in humans, therefore it is of utmost importance to study the behaviour of AgNP in the GI system...
PhD student
Unravelling the mysteries behind ROS mediated regeneration will be key in understanding stem cell functioning.
PhD student
My research aids in the development of an additional alternative model for toxicity screening.
PhD student
Using Schmidtea mediterranea as an entry point to understand the role of neural signaling in intestinal regeneration.
PhD student
I’m working with human intestine cell models to understand the effects of micro- and nanoplastics with the objective of having better tools for...
PhD student
Micro- and nanoplastics can be found in all aquatic environments. Yet, information about their impact on living organisms is still lacking.
PhD student
Knowledge about the possible health effects of environmental nano- and microplastics is crucial to guide proper policymaking.
