Established in January 2019, the groups’ major focus is investigating the effect of relevant endocrine disruptors on reproductive biology, as well as the development of related/necessary methodology: e.g. immunoassays, detection systems based on bacterial inhibition (BI) and development of primarily IgY binding agents. The BI test system for antibiotic detection in honey, developed by the group is considered as one of the „Top 100 Hungarian Innovations”. The main task of the group is the analyses of mycotoxins in animal tissues and organs. With support from the Ministry of Agriculture the group joined a project to investigate the etiology of deer antler disease. Parallel to this, the measurement of mycotoxins, metabolites and/or steroids from farm animals (poultry, rabbit, African catfish, carps and pigs) is an ongoing project.
