Biography

As a wildlife ecotoxicologist, I implement interdisciplinary collaborations to better understand how anthropized environments affect biodiversity and the well-being of wild organisms. To date, my research has focused on three main themes:
(1) Modelling the spatiotemporal trends in pollutants and their transfer in aquatic and terrestrial environments exhibiting serious water quality problems or high vulnerability to pollution;
(2) Evaluating the toxic effect of environmental pollutants and other stress factors on free-living organisms using physiological and molecular approaches;
(3) The establishment of links between chemical pressures on watercourses, biodiversity and field ecotoxicological impacts.
Specifically, I try to uncover how low, chronic exposure to chemical pollution may result in subtle effects that may be deleterious for wildlife at different biological scales.
