Eva Reiter

Eva Reiter is a Researcher at the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Leipzig, Germany, working within the Department of Cell Toxicology since November 2017. Her research focuses on environmental pollutants and their effects on marine ecosystems, particularly through innovative methods involving passive sampling and bioanalytical screening.

Her primary research interests include environmental toxicology, marine pollution analysis, bioanalytical chemistry, and chemical exposure assessment in marine mammals. She specializes in studying pollutant distribution within marine mammals using passive sampling with 'chemometers' and bioanalytical screening techniques to determine mixture effects and characterize bioanalytical patterns covering toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic endpoints.

Her publication record shows a strong focus on marine mammal exposome characterization, with her 2023 work on 'Characterizing the marine mammal exposome by iceberg modeling' representing current trends in environmental exposure science. Her research combines chemical trace analysis with bioanalytical approaches to understand complex pollutant mixtures in marine apex predators.

Eva Reiter has been actively involved in two major research projects: the ERC project CHEMO-RISK since 2017, where she studies pollutant distribution in marine mammals, and the HGF project EXPOSO-METER since 2021, focusing on chemical exposure in marine apex predators. Her methodological expertise in passive sampling techniques and bioanalytical characterization contributes significantly to the field of environmental risk assessment.
