Audrey graduated in Biotechnology at Sup’biotech in Paris, France. Deeply interested in environmental issues, she became involved in Ecotoxicology during her master equivalent internship at Watchfrog, a start-up specialized in the detection of endocrine disruptors. Her research was focused on the optimization of a medaka embryo (anti)-androgenic assay, the first step for the validation into OECD guidelines. After graduation, she spent one and a half years at the Center for Fish and Wildlife Health of Bern University, Switzerland where she conducted an in vivo experiment comparing the 17α-Ethinylestradiol sensitivity between medaka and zebrafish.

Currently, Audrey is enrolled as a Ph.D. student at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. Her project will link retinoid and thyroid disruption with adverse effects during early development in zebrafish. She will explore the question with in vitro and zebrafish embryo model, as well as with omics approaches. One of the main goals is to develop an Adverse Outcome Pathway by identifying the related key event while extrapolating results at a higher biological level -- fish population.
