to October 2012
Part-time
Verneuil-en-Halatte
France
- Study of the effects of pesticides on zebrafish reproduction. During this study, histological, endocrine and molecular in vitro and in vivo investigations showed that a pharmaceutical fungicide (clotrimazole) impacted steroidogenesis directly and indirectly, leading to effects on spermatogenesis. At the end, a model of the action of clotrimazole was proposed.
- 3 articles published (A rank)
- Developed skills in molecular biology, biochemistry and exposology
- Acquired skills in cell culture, analytical chemistry (Solid Phase Extraction, HPLC), reproductive toxicology, histology and regulatory ecotoxicology
- Participation to international congresses (SETAC 2011, 2012, 2013)
