Lisa Baumann is an Assistant Professor in Environmental Health and Toxicology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research focuses on the endocrine system of zebrafish (Danio rerio), aiming to understand the development of organs and how environmental pollutants affect these systems, leading to adverse effects in wildlife. Specifically, her work is centered on ecotoxicology with an emphasis on endocrine disruption in zebrafish. Baumann's broader expertise encompasses fish biology, developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, endocrinology, sexual development, reproduction, liver toxicity, immunotoxicity, ecology, zoology, marine biology, the Adverse Outcome Pathway concept, the 3R concept (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement), molecular pathways, biomarkers, histopathology, and behavior, all complying with OECD guidelines. She has been involved in numerous collaborations and external consultancy roles, particularly with the European Food Safety Authority, contributing to projects that assess the impact of pollutants on key biological processes.
