Chemometrics for Environmental Omics (Ch4EO)
Our research focuses on the development and application of chemometric (data analysis) tools and high-throughput analytical methods to assess the effects of environmental stressors on target biological systems, which are representative of ecosystems.
The first goal is the development of chemometric approaches, and particularly of multivariate resolution approaches, to analyze massive datasets coming from diverse analytical platforms such as mass spectrometry with or without hyphenated chromatographic methods (GC-MS, LC-MS), hyperspectral images, multidimensional spectroscopies or chromatographies (EEM, GCxGC-MS, LCxLC-MS,..) or RNAseq.
The second goal consists of the application of these data analysis tools to evaluate the effects of chemical pollutants and global change challenges on the genomic and metabolomic profiles of a selected set of representative target biological systems (i.e. Danio rerio, Daphnia magna, cell cultures). Biological knowledge obtained in the study of these environmental effects in these model organisms can be extended to all organisms, including humans.
