Salima Aroua

Salima Aroua serves as a Lecturer and Researcher at the University of Le Havre, Normandy, France, affiliated with the SEBIO research unit (UMR-I 02: Environmental Stress and BIOmonitoring of aquatic environments). This joint laboratory operates under the University of Le Havre, University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, and INERIS (French National Institute for Industrial Environment and Risks).

Her research investigates environmental pollutants' impacts on aquatic vertebrates with specialized focus:

• Mechanisms of endocrine-disrupting molecules' action sites
• Effects during larval development in marine fish (e.g., sea bass)
• Neuroendocrine pathways in pollutant response
• Reproductive system interference by chemical contaminants

These studies advance understanding of anthropogenic pollutants' ecological consequences in marine ecosystems.

Based at Le Havre's Biology building (25 rue Philippe Lebon), she utilizes SEBIO's multidisciplinary resource centers including Biochemistry-Physicochemistry, Cell biology-cytometry, Molecular biology-microbiology, and the Mobicyte experimental platform. The unit maintains dual-campus operations with Reims facilities supporting integrated environmental stress research.
