About Greta Nilén
Since August 2017 I am doing my PhD research on mixture effects of environmental chemicals. The limited knowledge of risks associated with mixture toxicity is the starting point for this project that aims to investigate the toxic responses of mixtures of pollutants and integrate those results into risk assessment. In addition, the project aims to fill crucial gaps in the knowledge regarding molecular and mechanism-specific effects of mixture toxicity. To generate a better understanding of toxicant interactions, I am using an in vivo test system and techniques like metabolomics and qPCR.
