Alix Aldehoff

Alix Aldehoff is a PhD researcher at the Department of Molecular Toxicology, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Leipzig, Germany. She is associated with the CRC1052 project Z3 and contributes to initiatives like MetaPro-ProMetheus and InCeTo (2019-2023).

Education:

• PhD Student (2021-present), CRC1052 Project Z3, UFZ
• MSc Biotechnology (2018-2021), Münster University
• BSc Biological Sciences (2015-2018), Münster University

Her research focuses on proteomics and metabolomics to study xenobiotic effects on adipocyte function/differentiation and microbiome dynamics. Key areas include post-translational protein modifications, DINCH/MINCH chemical exposure, and microbiome-host crosstalk in simplified intestinal models.

Recent publications (2023-2025) address metabolism-disrupting chemicals, glyphosate interactions in E. coli, and microbiome responses to food colorants. Her work integrates multi-omics approaches and 13C metabolic tracing for environmental risk assessment.

She collaborates with teams studying environmental immunology, cell toxicology, and exposomics under projects like nanoINHALE (2024) and SafePol (2025). Her laboratory uses bioreactor systems for longitudinal microbiome studies.
