Hanane Perrein-Ettajani

Hanane Perrein-Ettajani is a Lecturer at the University of Angers (UCO), affiliated with the BIOSSE research team within the Faculty of Sciences. Her research focuses on ecotoxicology, particularly the biological impacts of pollutants—including metals, endocrine disruptors, and emerging contaminants like microplastics and nanoparticles—on marine and estuarine organisms. She holds a doctorate in ecotoxicology from the University of Tours (1994).

Key research themes include pollutant bioavailability, ecotoxicological risks of nanoparticles, and the effects of microplastics on key species such as Scrobicularia plana, Corbicula fluminea, and Hediste diversicolor. Her work spans molecular responses, biomarker analysis, and mesocosm studies to assess environmental contamination impacts.

Her recent articles (2024–2014) explore topics like aging effects on microplastic toxicity, nanoplastic trophic transfer, and the influence of salinity on nanoparticle behavior. She collaborates on projects such as PLASTERA (microplastic risk assessment) and NanoInformaTIX (nanoinformatics modeling). No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the text.

Professionally, she contributes to programs like the Seine estuary microplastic study (PLASTIC-Seine) and serves on the Regional Entomological Atlas association. Her work integrates field and laboratory approaches to address contemporary environmental challenges, emphasizing ecological and human health impacts of pollutants.
