Group description

EDCMET researchers at the General Assembly meeting in Berlin.

The EDCMET project connects experts in various research fields, including systems toxicologists, experimental biologists with a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms of metabolic disease and comprehensive in vitro and in vivo methodological skills and ultimately, epidemiologists linking environmental exposure to adverse metabolic outcomes. Together we aim to develop novel validated test methods and models to assess the metabolic effects of endocrine disrupting compounds and to identify molecular initiating events linked to adverse outcomes.
