Research interests include ecotoxicological effects of synthetic hormones, light environment modulation of fish immunity, and aquatic ecosystem health. Projects include evaluating contraceptive hormones' ecotoxicity and studying melatonin's immunomodulatory effects in pike-perch.

Publications emphasize zebrafish as a model organism for studying estrogenic compounds and reproductive biology. Collaborations span Belgium and international institutions, focusing on pharmaceutical impacts and conservation biology.
