4 brilliant researchers at #SETAC in Maastricht. Anne, Flavia, Emma and Izabela from @DcuBiotech showcase their research on water fleas in risk assessment @DCU_LSI
We are delighted to inform that Dr. Vijai Kumar Gupta @guptakv10@DCUBiotech is now the new National Chairperson of the National Committee of Bioeconomy @NSAI_Standards. NSAI serves as Ireland’s official state agency for standardisation, conformity assessment, and measurement.
@DCU is represented by 4 brilliant researcehrs at #SETAC in Maastrich. Anne, Flavia, Emma and Izabela from @DcuBiotech showcase their research on water fleas in risk assessment @DCU_LSI
At the annual conference of the @FreshwaterIE, our students Leo, Izabela, Flavia and Anne from @DcuBiotech@DCU_LSI showcased daphnids as canaries in the coal mine to battle freshwater pollution.
Congratulations to @michalaki_anna@DcuBiotech@DCU_LSI for her research paper in Aquatic Toxicology on multigenerational exposures of pollutants on key species for better metrics for pollution. Funded by @Researchirel@IrishResearch https://t.co/2eCyUJAGOX
Congratulations to Dr. Katie O’Rourke @DcuBiotech@DCU_LSI for highlighting how antibiotics in the aquatic environment introduce metabolic perturbations in key species and the ecosystem. With emphasis on risk assessment read more @Water_MDPI. https://t.co/djl5XWwz2r
Hundreds of old landfills left in limbo despite risk of leaking toxic waste into waterways.
Dr Jenny Lawler, @DcuBiotech@DCUWater, tells @TJ_Investigates that increased ammonia suggests "ongoing breakdown and biological activity happening" inside.

Anne Leung from @DcuBiotech showcased in Science Week at the Coolmine community school for the event "Ask a Scientist!". Anne is a passionate advocate of freshwater research and how daphnids act as "canaries in the coal mine" for early pollution assessment. Funded by @DCUEdTrust
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
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.
🎉 This week we welcome @SartoriusGlobal to DCU!

@FCerrone_DCU@DCU_LSI just published a manuscript in @SpringerNature https://t.co/SOGcCxwNRE about the fine-tuned control of mechanical agitation for the continuous cultivation of filamentous fungi in STR. How to enhance #immunogenic#bioactives production avoiding adhesion.
Our mascot dog Daphne is named after our waterflea the Daphnia. In our review @limnolrev Anne, Emma and Flavia captured our research on waterfleas used in monitoring practices. @DcuBiotech@DCU_LSI Many thanks to the @DCUEdTrust for their support to Anne with PhD scholarship.
In the annual @SEBiology conference in Antwerp, Izabela and Emma showcased how water fleas provide great insight in molecular ecology and ecotoxicology. @DcuBiotech@DCU_LSI
