Unit of Biochemical Toxicology

Our research is focused on cancer and endocrine disruption and involves mechanisms, risk assessment and prevention.

The objective of our research is to understand the connection between exposure to chemicals and health effects with focus on cancer and endocrine disruption. To understand the mechanisms behind these health effects we work with different cellular models and analysis of various databases. We also develop risk assessment methodologies. Other areas of interest are combined effects and gender differences. Progress within these areas will lead to improved risk assessment and development of prevention strategies.
