1. Toxicological studies of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) : Impact on the reproductive system and gut microbiota
Abstract : The potential health impact of exposure to anthropogenic chemicals has raised major concerns worldwide. Phthalates are mainly used in the plastic industry and have been associated with adverse effects in humans. Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is one of the dominant phthalates with a ubiquitous presence in the environment. READ MORE

2. Copepods in Skeletonema-dominated food webs : Toxicity and nutritional quality as factors controlling copepod-diatom interactions
Abstract : My thesis focuses on copepod-diatom interactions, specifically on the effects of food quality and toxicity on copepod feeding, reproductive success and behavior but as a frame, also includes a quantitative evaluation of copepod carbon requirements compared to other trophic plankton groups. My aim was to evaluate the function of copepods in diatom-dominated spring blooms. READ MORE

3. The Xenopus tropicalis model for developmental endocrine and reproductive toxicity : Histological and molecular endpoints for disrupted spermatogenesis
Abstract : Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are linked to adverse effects in both humans and wildlife. There are however, large knowledge gaps regarding cause-effect and dose-response relationships between the interference with endocrine pathways and adverse effects in the organism, especially at puberty and in subsequent generations.

4. Melanosome transfer, photoreception and toxicity assays in melanophores
Abstract : Many animals such as fish and frogs have developed the ability to change colour of their skin to adapt to the environment or to signal to other individuals. This ability is due to specialised skin cells called melanophores. READ MORE

5. The effect of intra-abdominal local anaesthetics following major gynaecological surgery. Clinical and experimental studies
Abstract : Background: Local anaesthetics (LA), in addition to inhibition of pain signalling, also have anti-inflammatory properties. In vitro studies have demonstrated anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effect of LAs on cancer cells when administered in therapeutic concentrations. READ MORE
