NewsFebruary 2023 Amina’s secondment at the University of Sheffield Our ESR 7 Amina Khalid spent her third secondment at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom. She was there for two months and focused her secondment on the learning models for population extrapolation. She collaborated with our other ESRs - Niamh (ESR9) and Susanna (ESR13), during her secondment. About her experiences, you can read in this short report.
NewsFebruary 2023 Simon’s secondment at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA), the Netherlands Our ESR, Simon Schmid spent his cumulative secondment in January 2022 and July 2022 at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA). His visit was focused on the establishment of and measurement using a LC/MS method for the quantification of carbohydrate metabolites. This method was planned to be used to quantify these metabolites in exposed Daphnia magna. At VUA, he cooperated with our ESR Diana Ilyaskina (ESR6). You can read his experiences in this short report.
NewsFebruary 2023 Yang’s secondment at IFF in Aarhus, Denmark Our ESR Yang Wang spent his summer secondment at DuPont Nutrition Biosciences ApS, part of IFF in Aarhus, Denmark. His secondment was focused on proteomics study and understanding the proteomic response of springtails to phenanthrene combined with drought. About his research and experiences, you can read in his short report.
NewsFebruary 2023 Amina’s secondment at the ECT Oekotoxikologie GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany Amina Khalid, our ESR 7 spent her second secondment in Frankfurt, Germany. She seconded to ECT Oekotoxikologie GmbH, where she learned about the industrial application of ecotoxicology tools. She focused on comparing the chronic toxicity test results to the fish acute toxicity tests. You can read in her short report about her research experiences and her exciting journey and trips around Frankfurt.
NewsFebruary 2023 Diana's and Chander's joint secondment at RIWA, Netherlands Our ESRs Diana Ilyaskina and Chander Kant Negi spent joint secondment at RIWA-Rijn, Netherlands. During their secondment, they performed a case study analysis using the data from both RIWA and NORMAN databases. The study aimed to develop a toxicity index to perform a complex assessment of the water quality parameters combined with ecotoxicological information on pollutants. The proposed index was applied to the case study. You can read more about their research and experiences in their short report.
NewsFebruary 2023 Amina’s secondment at the Çukurova University - Adana, Turkey Our ESR Amina Khalid spent at summer of 2021 her secondment at the Çukurova University in Turkey. Her research is focused on using fish's physiological and performance traits as endpoints of effects under the ecological risk assessment framework. In the secondment, she aimed at the biomarkers at the sub-molecular level - biomarkers of antioxidant enzyme system (AES). You can read her experiences in this short report.
