Biography

Terje Svingen is a Professor and the Head of the Research Group in Molecular Reproductive Toxicology at the National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark. His research focuses on the effects of environmental chemicals, particularly mixtures of endocrine-disrupting compounds, on development and health. With a significant background in molecular developmental biology, Svingen is particularly interested in unlocking the molecular mechanisms underlying biological changes due to these compounds and their impact on normal development and tissue homeostasis. His work aims to understand the interplay between environmental factors and human biology, ultimately contributing to the establishment of parameters crucial for human health.
