Thomas Knigge

I studied Biology and Geography at the University of Tübingen (Germany) and completed these studies with MS-thesis on "The impact of lead on behavioural, physiological and biochemical parameters of the woodlouse Porcellio scaber" in 1998. I then conducted a PhD-these in cell biology and ecophysiology at the University of Tübingen (1999-2003) on subcellular stress responses to metals, drought and temperature in soil organisms. Between 2002 and 2004, I worked as a research fellow at the Marine Environmental Research Centre of RF-Akvamiljø, (Norway) on proteomics in marine invertebrates. From 2005 to 2007 I was employed as a research fellow in the Laboratory of the Marine Environments at Le Havre University (France) working on endocrine disruption in molluscs. Since 2007, I am senior lecturer in Biology at Le Havre University where I habilitated in 2016. I work as a researcher at the UMR-I 02 Environmental Stress and Aquatic Biomonitoring (SEBIO). My expertise comprises ecophysiology, endocrinology of invertebrates, fish immunology, ecotoxicology and proteomics.
