Molecular biomonitoring for exposure to neurotoxic environmental pollutants.

This project will contribute to a better characterization of the toxicological response of environmental pollutants with transcriptomics. A special emphasis will be put on the induction of neurological damage. It is envisioned that the approach will provide a better understanding of the mechanism of action of environmental contaminants. Furthermore, the project may provide valuable information for developing a molecual biomarker panel indicative for neurological damage. Such a panel may hold potential for future research projects, epidemiological and/or clinical studies.
