PhD research: I will focus on characterizing the toxicity leaching from common plastic materials and identify the causative chemicals using non-target chemical analysis. For that, I will apply a battery of in vitro bioassays covering health-related endpoints, such as cell receptors, endocrine disruption, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
