DCU School of Biotechnology

Flavia is our undergraduate who published her final year project. In her study she developed a new method to measure the size of daphnids as a response of growth to exposure of pollutants. She applied this method to complex mixtures as a sensitive endpoint. @DCU_LSI @DcuBiotech

Α great collaboration with @UFZ_de and @DCU_LSI @DcuBiotech in a study on glyphosate in river samples. Combining metabolomics and daphnids, Izabela Antepowicz leads this study in revolutionisig risk assessment. Read more at sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In other news, @SEBiology annual conference brings together a breadth of science. Tonia and Izabela with 3 oral presentations showcased new approach methodologies in risk assessment and how water fleas and metabolomics provide new metrics for pollution @DcuBiotech and @DCU_LSI

A great paper concludes the PhD research of Dr. @michalaki_anna from @DcuBiotech and @DCU_LSI and showcases how molecular responses are employed directly in water pollution. Research funded by @Researchirel and @IrishResearch and supported by the collaboration with @UFZ_de

The result of a great collaboration with @UFZ_de is a new protocol for feeding measurements in daphnids. Izabela Antepowicz @DCU_LSI @DcuBiotech leads this study with many applications for risk assessment. Read more at @MPs_MDPI mdpi.com/2409-9279/9/4/…
