Prof. Sandrine CHARLES
Prof. Sandrine CHARLES, PhD, leads the team “Predictive Modelling and Ecotoxicology” within the laboratory of Biometry and Evolutionary Biology at the University Lyon 1 (France). Her research activities lie within the scope of quantitative risk assessment in ecotoxicology through the development of mathematical and statistical methods aiming at identifying potentially hazardous substances, at defining concentration thresholds acceptable at the different levels of biological organisation, at drawing up indices of environmental quality, and also at characterising causal links between toxicity and ecological impact. Through an approach that is interdisciplinary, integrative, and associated to the development of predictive mathematical and statistical models, Sandrine Charles’s research activities thus attempt to support the deciphering of links between the scale at which effects are observed and the scale of the levels of biological organisation to protect (individual, population, community).

Dr. Christelle LOPES
Dr. Christelle LOPES is an associate professor in biological modelling and works in the team “Predictive Modelling and Ecotoxicology” within the laboratory of Biometry and Evolutionary Biology at the University Lyon 1 (France). She is specialized in the development of mathematical models to describe and understand biological processes at different biological levels, from sub-individual to ecosystem levels. More specifically, her expertise focuses on the development of dynamic models (based on matrix models and differential equations), firstly to describe and understand the effects of environmental and anthropic stress factors observed on individuals, and secondly to extrapolate them to higher biological levels that are the population and the community. She is particularly interested in the effects of chemical stressors on freshwater ecosystems in general, and on invertebrates in particular. In this ecotoxicological context, the models she developes are used in fine to assess the « quality » of the environment and to predict long-term functional consequences and potential adaptation of populations to different stress factors.
