ISSeP’s Ecotoxicology Unit will be speaking at the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), to be held in Rome from May 13 to 17, 2018. She will present some of the results of the BIODIEN study on the presence of endocrine disruptors in Walloon surface waters. The presentation will focus on the results obtained using the YES and YAS test bioassays, and assess their value as screening tools for endocrine disruption in the aquatic environment.
