Testing the effects of stressors, pesticides and bioactive compounds on model organisms PV-24-006

Agriculture and Food SciencesBiomedicine, MedTech and Health

Use of model organisms, especially Drosophila melanogaster, to test the effects of nutrition, temperature, environmental stressors, pesticides and bioactive compounds. Collaboration may include the design of biological assays, preparation of experimental groups, assessment of changes in metabolism, behaviour, stress resistance, reproduction and lifespan, as well as data interpretation for product development or safety assessment.
