Sanne van den Berg

Sanne van den Berg is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Risk Assessment. She leads projects such as the Technological Innovations for Ecosystem Monitoring (TIEM) and contributes to initiatives like the EthoCRED framework, which guides behavioral ecotoxicology studies. Her work focuses on pesticide impacts, chemical sensitivity across species, and aquatic ecosystem health. She collaborates on projects assessing groundwater protection and pesticide policy, emphasizing methodological rigor and cross-species extrapolation.

Her research interests include behavioral ecotoxicology, precision ecotoxicology leveraging pharmacological targets, and the development of standardized protocols for toxicity testing. She has co-supervised PhD candidates in species sensitivity modeling and adverse outcome pathways. Notable contributions include frameworks for evaluating behavioral ecotoxicity studies and impact analyses of pesticide restrictions in groundwater protection areas.

Publications span ecotoxicological methodologies, pesticide effects on bees, and chemical stress impacts on freshwater invertebrates. She actively participates in interdisciplinary teams addressing ecological monitoring and risk assessment challenges.
