#PFAS wirken sich negativ auf die Gesundheit aus, auch auf Schwangere und deren ungeborene Kinder. #UFZ Forscherinnen um @anazenclussen.bsky.social zeigen, dass sie die Funktionalität der Plazenta vor allem in der frühen Schwangerschaftsphase stören.

👏Congratulations to our scientist Dr. Sergio Gomez-Olarte for receiving the ITCASS Immunotoxicology, Speciality Section Award for his abstract "PFAS mixture effects on single-cell CyTOF-based profiling of human primary immune cells: transitioning to new approach methodologies." at EUROTOX 2025! 👏

🌙 During the "Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften" in #Leipzig, our team hosted a booth on #environmental chemicals in daily life and their #health impact.
🔎 With engaging quizzes and practical insights from our research, we welcomed curious visitors of all ages!

🌟We are excited to be part of the new Cluster of Excellence: Leipzig Center of Metabolism (LeiCeM) at Leipzig University!

🔬Our research will explore how environmental toxins impact fetal and placental programming, shaping the risk of metabolic disorders later in life.

#PFAS beeinflussen zelluläre Immunantwort auf #Corona-Virus, das zeigen #UFZ-Forschende um die Immunologin @anazenclussen.bsky.social in einer aktuellen Studie. Menschen, die hohen PFAS-Belastungen ausgesetzt sind, könnten weniger gut auf Impfungen ansprechen. www.ufz.de/index.php?de...

📰Excited to share our new publication in Environmental Research as part of the #ENDOMIX project!
Our findings from #LiNA cohort show that prenatal exposure to mixtures of #phthalates and #bisphenolA may increase the risk of eczema in children.

Happy to share with you our paperl. Together with colleagues from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health we investigated how a #PFAS mixture interferes with the immune response towards #SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. @ufz.de @ufz-cite.bsky.social

🌍 On April 8-9, the #ENDOMIX consortium got together in #Rotterdam to reflect on our progress and engage in fruitful discussions. With valuable feedback from our Stakeholder Board, the consortium is driven to move forward in uncovering the hidden health risks of #EDCs!

#HorizonEU #EUfunded @ufz.de

📢 Hello, Bluesky!
We're excited to share our work at the Dept. of Environmental Immunology @ufz.de!

🔬Our research explores how #EnvironmentalChemicals impact #Health and the #ImmuneSystem.
