Sibylle Maletz

Dr. Sibylle Maletz is a Researcher in Aquatic Ecotoxicology at the Eawag Ecotox Centre in Switzerland. Her work focuses on endocrine disruptors, in vitro bioassays, and environmental risk assessment of aquatic systems, particularly concerning hormone-active substances in water and sediment.

• Current Role: Scientist (since 2022)
• Prior Roles: Reproductive Biologist (2007-2015), Research Associate (2000-2007)
• Key Projects: Sediment quality in quarry ponds, UV filters in Lake Geschinen, anticoagulant thresholds in raptors

Her research integrates cell culture systems, in vivo testing, and environmental monitoring to evaluate chemical impacts on aquatic ecosystems. She has contributed to developing bioassay batteries for pollutant detection and participated in OECD validation programs for endocrine disruptor screening.

Dr. Maletz supervises student research projects and has previously led the cell culture laboratory at RWTH Aachen University. Her publications address topics including micropollutant effects on drinking water, nano-material toxicity, and sediment-bound contaminant risks.
