Research interests

Key-words: Ecotoxicology / Terrestrial organisms / Aquatic organisms / Combined stressors / Mixture toxicity / Bioaccumulation / Toxicokinetics / Ecological Risk Assessment / Multigenerational assays / Alternative food sources / circular agriculture / Ecosytem Services/ oil sands risk assessment

- Use of ecotoxicological bioassays to evaluate the potential contamination of water and soils in real scenarios;

- Impact of pesticide and Nano-pesticide application to non-target soil organisms;

- Toxicity of nanoparticles in aquatic and terrestrial organisms;

- Assessment of the joint effects of natural and chemical stressors in terrestrial organisms;

- Molecular techniques (biomarkers, comet assay) to assess the effects of xenobiotics into aquatic and terrestrial organisms

- Specific case scenario: Natural contamination in Oil sands area, induced by the input of bitumen into freshwater. Use of a battery of organisms to assess the ecotoxicological effects of bitumen in Rivers.

- Promotion of safe and sustainable production of insects for food and feed - promotion of circular approaches with a zero-waste policy.
