In Vivo and In Vitro Models for Assessing the Impact of the Exposome on Health
Scientific-Disciplinary Group
05/BIOS-07 - Biochemistry
Description
The candidate will be expected to study the molecular mechanisms that influence health in relation to exposure to various environmental factors (foods, bioactive molecules, probiotics, pesticides, endocrine disruptors, stress, etc.). The study of the correlations between the exposome and health will involve the use of in vitro and vivo models: in particular, advanced cellular systems, including three-dimensional organoids and co-culture models, combined with imaging techniques and omics disciplines, will allow for the analysis of the molecular mechanisms induced by exposures, with a focus on epigenetic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic modifications. In parallel, animal models (e.g., Drosophila melanogaster, zebrafish, C. elegans) will allow for the evaluation of whole-organism responses, including long-term, developmental, and potentially transgenerational effects. Teaching activities will require a commitment to cover the SSD courses
