The increasing diversity of newly designed chemicals creates a potential risk for ecosystems. Efficient methods are required to generate information about their toxicological effects and molecular mechanisms.

My Ph.D. project goal is an image-based high-content screening method to assess chemical toxicity in the model species Daphnia magna. Using sensitive, non-invasive fluorescence microscopy coupled to image analysis to investigate toxicological mechanism in vivo, enables a fast and better understanding of effects.
