Halima Jahan

Halima Jahan is a researcher at the Department of Zoology, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. Her work focuses on developing transgenic marine flatworms (Macrostomum lignano) as biological reporters for environmental pollution monitoring, particularly xenobiotic exposure.

Her research integrates biotechnology and aquatic toxicology, with key areas including:

• Environmental pollution monitoring using marine flatworms
• Transgenic reporter systems for xenobiotic detection
• Aquaculture feed optimization (soybean meal substitution)
• Neurotoxicological impacts of pesticides on fish

Recent publications highlight her expertise in:

• Dietary protein alternatives for sustainable aquaculture
• Fluorescent biomarker development
• Physiological and histopathological responses to pollutants
