Andrea is a researcher in Environmental Toxicology at Uppsala University, with a focus on how environmental pollutants affect brain health. She holds a PhD in Environmental Toxicology, and her research centres on developing non-animal testing methods and improving chemical risk assessment. By using in vitro test systems, she aims to generate data that supports safer chemical use and more protective regulations.

In addition to her research, she teaches and supervises students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Andrea is particularly interested in how science can inform policy and in finding practical ways for research to contribute to public and environmental health.
