The Genetic Toxicology & Ecotoxicology (GTE) Research Group is a team of dynamic and forward looking researchers led by Professor Awadhesh Jha .
Using cutting edge technologies and a range of models, members of GTE carry out research across a wide range of themes in the field of environmental toxicology and genetic toxicology.
Our key research accomplishments are:
- contributions to fundamental mechanisms of genotoxicity and toxicity
- development and application of assays and biomarkers to evaluate potential detrimental effects of environmental agents at different levels of biological organisation (i.e. molecules to individual levels)
- applications of ‘omics’ technologies in environmental toxicological studies
- promotion of 'three Rs' principles in fish ecotoxicology
- hazard and risk assessment with respect to human and ecosystem health
- promotion of multidisciplinary research
- research work highly relevant to industries.
Our work has been funded by different agencies including UK Research and Innovation (UKRI; e.g. NERC and BBSRC), the European Union, scientific and charitable organisations, the UK government and multinational industries.
Our research is supported by well-established collaborations at local, national and international levels. We are always interested in receiving enquiries from potential collaborators.
