Human Biomonitoring: Constituting Collectives and Imaginaries in the Anthropocene KU Leuven
Human biomonitoring registers traces of environmental chemical pollution in the human body. It mobilizes many human volunteers to give samples (e.g. blood or urine), and it requires a complex infrastructure involving public authorities, scientific experts, citizens and other stakeholders. In this project, I will analyze how such infrastructures are currently being implemented in different countries, under EU coordination. Questions as to ...
Urban vegetation biomonitoring: exploring the potential of hyperspectral remote sensing University of Antwerp
Gene expression profiles as biomarkers in human biomonitoring: the study of temporal variation in gene expression and relationships with exposure and effects of environmental pollution Ghent University
As part of a preventive environment and health, there is a strong need for the development of new biomarkers of exposure and / or effects of environmental pollutants, which already give an indication of possible health effects at an early stage. Measuring gene expression in peripheral blood using microarray is an attractive concept. The underlying hypothesis is that circulating blood reflects the physiological response of an organism, and ...
