Local organizing committee

She is a marine ecotoxicologist, studying the fate and toxicity mechanisms of chemicals from molecular to physiological levels in various marine organisms. She has a recognized expertise in genotoxicoloy and biomonitoring.

He is a marine ecotoxicologist particularly involved in research on marine litter and plastic pollution. He coordinated the EU/ MSFD Technical Group on Marine Litter from 2010 to 2022.

With an expertise in fish physiology and ecotoxicology, he ‘s studying the toxic effects of chemical pollution on model fish species (zebrafish and marine medaka) by different approaches (e.g developmental toxicity, behaviour).

She ‘s conducting research in the field of evolutionary ecotoxicology. She’s studying the impact of micropollutants on freshwater invertebrate populations and the influence of the reproduction system on their response and fate.

She is studying the contamination of aquatic systems by microplastics and rare earth elements. Their effects are also studied thanks to the measurement of enzymatic biomarkers and lipidomics approaches.

She is conducting research in the field of environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology. She is focusing on emerging contaminants in biotic and abiotic compartments and their effects by developing metabolomics approaches.

He’s working on the ecodynamics of organic pollutants, metals and radioelements in marine organisms. He is using stable and radioactive isotopes for the development of bioindicators and biomarkers.

He is working as a marine ecotoxicologist. He‘s investigating the effects of chemical pollutants on the endocrine systems of different aquatic species.

With an interdisciplinary profile of ecotoxicologist and toxicologist, she is studying the impact of chemicals in the environment. She has an expertise in state-of-the art ‘omics’ techniques to unravel toxic mechanisms and develop biomarkers for environmental biomonitoring.

He is studying the toxicity of chemical pollution in aquatic species at molecular level using genomics approaches in both lab and field exposed organisms.

Hélène Budzinski is a research director at CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique). She is the director of the mixed research unit called EPOC “Oceanic and Continental Environments and Paleoenvironments” from Bordeaux University, CNRS, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, and Institut Polytechnique Bordeaux.
