Henriette Selck

Henriette Selck is a Professor at the Department of Science and Environment, Environmental Dynamics, Centre for Frustrated Molecular Interactions at Roskilde University. Her research focuses on aquatic ecology, invertebrate biology, pollution, and environmental risk assessment.

• 2003: PhD in Marine Deposit-Feeder Toxicology
• 1996: Master's in Environmental Biology and Geography

Research interests include:

• Hydrophobic contaminants: Bioavailability, risk assessment, and sediment interactions
• Exposure route dynamics: Uptake, internal fate, and elimination of pollutants
• Benthic infauna role: Bioturbation effects on contaminant distribution
• Population-level risk assessment: Bridging individual toxicity effects to ecological impacts

Recent publications (2023-2025) emphasize pharmaceutical pollution, microplastic exposure pathways, and copper nanoparticle toxicity. Her work combines field studies with laboratory experiments to improve environmental risk assessment frameworks.

• 2005: Short listed for CEFIC-LRI Innovative Science Award

Professional activities include membership in Danish Universities Committee, NATO Environmental Security Panel contributions, and editorial roles. She supervises environmental biology masters students and teaches ecotoxicology courses.
