Innovative toxicological approaches

We investigate Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), endocrine disruptors, pesticides, micro/nanoplastics, and real-world mixtures across biological scales. Using complementary biological models, such as Daphnia magna, zebrafish, and mammalian cell systems, and advanced in vitro platforms (spheroids and organoid-like models), this research lines identifies molecular initiating events, early biomarkers, and Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs), strengthening the translational bridge between environmental toxicology and biomedical risk assessment. 

In parallel, we also incorporate wildlife toxicology approaches using sentinel species and field-derived specimens to link laboratory mechanistic evidence with real-world ecological impacts, enabling integrated assessments of pollutant exposure, bioaccumulation, and health outcomes in natural populations.
