History
The Research Group was created in 2011, with some members who previously worked as part of the LICAS group - Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences - UNMDP, directed by Dr. Víctor J. Moreno and Dra. Julia E. A. de Moreno. This group develops research on aquatic ecotoxicology, with emphasis on biochemical and genetic effects in non-target organisms exposed to current-use organic contaminants such as agrochemicals.
