ELSEVIER LECTURE OF THE YEAR 2024
Invitation to the open lecture of Prof. Dr. Isabelle Oswald from the French National Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment (INRAE): “The exposome, a challenge for the toxicologists”.
The exposome is a concept used to describe environmental exposures that an individual encounters throughout life, and how these exposures impact biology and health. In this context, toxicologists have an exciting challenge ahead of them: to analyze the effects of these mixtures and,
above all, to determine the interactions between these different compounds.
Isabelle Oswald is research director at INRAE within the Research Centre in Food Toxicology (TOXALIM). Her research focuses on the effects of fungal toxins (mycotoxins) on humans and animals using in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro models.
When: 26 November 2024 at 17:00
Where: Carl-Auer-von-Welsbach Lecture hall (Großer Hörsaal 1) in the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Vienna in Boltzmanngasse 1 / Währingerstr. 38, 1090 Vienna
