معرفی
Elise Dumortier is a Researcher at the Namur Nanosafety Center, University of Namur, Belgium. Her work focuses on nanomaterials safety, toxicology, and aging mechanisms, contributing to Sustainable Development Goals related to health and environmental protection. Her research spans interdisciplinary fields including nanotoxicology, cellular senescence, fibroblast biology, and genotoxicity.
Dr. Dumortier's primary research interests include:
- Nanomaterials and their toxicological effects on biological systems
- Cellular aging mechanisms and senescence processes
- Fibroblast biology and its relationship to cancer development
- Gene expression changes following nanomaterial exposure
- Proteomic analysis of aging-related cellular processes
- Inflammatory responses to nanoparticle exposure
Her publication record (2016-2021) reveals a progression from fundamental nanotoxicology studies toward more complex investigations of how nanomaterials interact with aging cellular processes and cancer development pathways. Her research employs diverse methodologies including in vitro cytotoxicity assays, gene expression analysis, and animal models, with increasing emphasis on standardized testing protocols applicable for regulatory purposes in food and consumer products.
Dr. Dumortier has been instrumental in major collaborative research projects including MYOAGE (Understanding and combating age-related muscle weakness, 2009-2014) and PROTEOMAGE (Functional analysis of evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of ageing and advanced proteome analysis, 2006-2011), working with international research teams across Europe.
Her scholarly contributions have been shared through numerous conference presentations including the Fall meeting of the BSCDB on Epidermal cell biology (2012), Mini-colloque Narilis (2012), and multiple project-specific meetings for MYOAGE and PROTEOMAGE between 2011-2012, demonstrating consistent engagement with the scientific community.
