Prof. dr hab.
Joanna Mankiewicz-Boczek
joanna.mankiewicz@biol.uni.lodz.pl
j.mankiewicz@erce.unesco.lodz.pl
Main research areas: Water biomonitoring and ecotoxicology including genetic ecotoxicology, Toxicity and genotoxicity of cyanobacteria and different cyanobacterial toxins - health aspects, Interaction cyanobacteria, other bacteria and cyanophages, Microorganisms in biodegradation process (e.g. nutrient removal), Biotechnology for ecology
Main research areas: trophic interactions in aquatic food chains, the impact of cyanotoxins on aquatic organisms, antioxidant mechanisms protecting zooplankton from harmful effects of cyanobacteria toxins, analysis of long-term changes in plankton succession depending on biotic and abiotic conditions. Her research concerns monitoring and control of ecosystem succession processes in subsequent stages of eutrophication, reduction of eutrophication symptoms (such as toxic algal blooms) in reservoirs and lakes by regulation of feedbacks in hydrological and biological systems.

Magdalena Urbaniak
magdalena.urbaniak@biol.uni.lodz.pl
m.urbaniak@erce.unesco.lodz.pl
Main research areas: Investigation of the sources and migration paths of xenobiotics (mainly priority hazardous substances and contaminants of emerging concern) in the environment; Identification of risks arising from the presence of the xenobiotics in the environment; Development of efficient and environmentally-friendly methods (bio-, phytoremediation) for the elimination of the xenobiotics from the environment.
