Flavia used daphnids as “canaries in the coal mine” for assessment of pharmaceutical pollution. Flavia received the award for the best oral presentation at the 6th International Conference on Risk Assessment of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment. @DcuBiotech @DCU_LSI

[DCU School of Biotechnology @DcuBiotech]

Emma Rowan at the 6th ICRAPHE meeting in Aveiro presented her findings in the development of phenotypic methods as new approach methodologies to support pharmaceutical pollution and risk assessment. @DcuBiotech @DCU_LSI We thank the @BiochemSoc for their financial support.
