Henri Schroeder

Henri Schroeder is a Professor specializing in environmental and neurotoxicology, focusing on the effects of chemical pollutants on human and animal health. His research emphasizes understanding the toxicity of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), endocrine disruptors, and their impacts on neurodevelopment, epigenetic modifications, and metabolic disorders. He has contributed significantly to regulatory risk assessments for substances like PBDEs, BPA, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), collaborating with agencies like EFSA and ANSES. His work bridges laboratory-based studies with real-world exposure scenarios, particularly examining gestational and early-life exposures to pollutants.

Key areas of expertise include:
- Neurodevelopmental toxicity of environmental contaminants
- Epigenetic mechanisms in pollutant-induced disorders
- Pharmacokinetic modeling of toxicants
- Regulatory risk assessment methodologies
- Animal model validation for neurotoxicity studies

His research employs advanced techniques such as metabolomics, bioinformatics, and histopathological analyses, supported by institutional platforms like the Functional Genomics Platform and Molecular Biology facilities. Recent studies highlight the interplay between circadian rhythm disruption, neuroinflammation, and hepatic steatosis in pollutant-exposed organisms.
