Stefanie Raps

Stefanie Raps is a researcher in the Department of Molecular Toxicology at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ). Her work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of environmental toxins, particularly their impacts on microbial systems and human health. She contributes to projects analyzing the effects of chemicals like glyphosate and food colorants on biological systems. Her research integrates proteomics and metabolomics techniques to elucidate toxin interactions at the molecular level.

Key areas include studying protein interactions in bacterial models exposed to agrochemicals and assessing the long-term effects of food additives on microbiome stability. Her recent publications highlight advancements in identifying novel toxicity pathways and environmental chemical impacts on metabolic processes. Collaborations involve interdisciplinary teams investigating exposome dynamics and eco-toxicological risks.
