Research Group Biosafety
The ‘Biosafety’ Research Group investigates the environmental impacts of agricultural technologies on biodiversity and arthropods. The topics addressed encompass genetically modified plants, macroorganisms for plant protection, invasive species, pesticides and (micro)plastics. In addition to experimental research in the laboratory, greenhouse and field, concept studies are developed to assess the opportunities and risks posed by various technologies.

Biosafety
Agricultural innovations offer great potential for environmentally friendly crop production, but also pose ecological risks. We investigate the impacts of living, reproducing organisms as well as other technologies on biodiversity and its ecological processes, thereby supporting the safe use and authorisation of such organisms and technologies.
