Laura Burattin

Laura Burattin is a researcher at the Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Research Unit under the Institute of Life-Earth-Environment at the University of Namur. Her work focuses on environmental toxicology and endocrine disruption in aquatic organisms.

• Current project: Comparative assessment of ethinylestradiol and estetrol on zebrafish immune systems (2025-2026)

Research Interests: Laura investigates how synthetic and natural estrogens affect zebrafish physiology, spanning metamorphosis, reproductive capacity, and immune system functionality. Her methodologies integrate transcriptomics, proteomics, and behavioral analysis.

Publications: Recent studies explore estrogenic effects on zebrafish reproduction (2023), larval behavioral proteomics (2024), comparative endocrine disruption (2024), and metamorphosis transcriptomics (2025). These works highlight her expertise in aquatic toxicology and molecular responses to pollutants.
