Several widely used pesticides have endocrine disruptive activity in vitro but data regarding their potential to cause adverse impacts on amphibians are scarce. In addition, monitoring of wild amphibian populations with regard to reproductive and endocrine disruption is hampered by the lack of biomarkers. The aim of the proposal is to developmental test endpoints and biomarkers for reproductive and endocrine toxicity, using the model frog Xenopus tropicalis. Toxicological responses are Characterized on the molecular, biochemical, morphological and physiological level, including reproductive output. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd4832a1851af0001a8ad86/1566559143585-YMZI2OOXD1UZDUJHCL6I/image-asset.jpeg Research-old - GOLIATH A recently funded EU projects on metabolism disrupting chemicals for developing integrated testing strategies and improved mechanistic understanding of related disorders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd4832a1851af0001a8ad86/1566559383872-CUF3NPTWE6UUD5K9YD2C/image-asset.jpeg Research-old - NorthPop @ Umeå NorthPop is a recently initiated mother-child cohort under establishment in Västerbotten county including 10 000 pregnant women and their children will be followed from pregnancy to school age.

The research at the Department of Environmental Toxicology aims to determine how these pollutants interact with molecular and cellular functions and give rise to long-lasting adverse health effects in humans and wildlife. We explore this using different experimental systems ranging from rodent and aquatic models to cell models and microorganisms on-a-chip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd4832a1851af0001a8ad86/1567156930871-4E6D3V5TRJA3MQEPMTOX/image-asset.jpeg Research-old - A Non-toxic Environment @ SLU We provide decision support and expertise in the work towards A Non-Toxic Environment in Sweden.

More than 50 chemicals with suspected or proven endocrine disrupting properties (EDs) have been analyzed in urine and serum from the mother in 1st trimester as well as in the children at 6 and 12 months and at 7 years of age. The children have been followed up in school age. The overall aim with the study is to examine the importance of prenatal ED exposure for health and development in the children controlling for relevant background factors. Health domains in focus are metabolism and growth, neurodevelopment and cognitive functions, sexual development, and asthma and allergy. The study is currently focusing on mixture exposures, epigenetics and risk assessment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd4832a1851af0001a8ad86/1567165845385-IPLRXZIYOH6RK1YMLOWG/image-asset.jpeg Research-old - New approach methods (NAMs) for predicting toxicity Animal-based methods are the most commonly used approach for human toxicity assessment. However, the predictive accuracy and scientific relevance have been questioned. The European Union has supported development of NAMs and new strategies to perform risk assessment in several HORIZON2020 projects. One project is EU-ToxRisk, An Integrated European Flagship Programme Driving Mechanism-based Toxicity Testing and Risk Assessment for the 21st Century and another is the ENDpoiNTs, Novel testing methods of endocrine disruption linked developmental neurotoxicity. Universities and Institutes within Swaccs are partners in these projects, contributing with computational, cell-based and toxicogenomic methodology linked to epidemiologic studies to achieve the goal of Integrated Approaches to Testing and Assessment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd4832a1851af0001a8ad86/1567165967985-6VTHS8EJC1E906CWO7IE/image-asset.jpeg Research-old - NanoSafety New materials, drugs, cosmetics and pollutants may contain nanoparticles.
