Dr. Szandra Klátyik - MATE Research
Overview
The scientific research of Dr. Szandra Klátyik is connected to the ecotoxicological assessment of agricultural pollutants (e.g., toxins produced by first-generation genetically modified plants, veterinary and pesticide formulations) on non-target plant and animal organisms using various standardized and self-developed test systems. Short- and long-term monitoring of the individual and combined effects of the tested substances at the individual and community level is also included in her research interests. The additional research areas are covered by mainly the application of enzyme activity testing methods and biomarkers in the toxicity assessment. She has professional skills in the environmental monitoring of the environmental fate of agricultural pollutants using various analytical methods.

TOPPlant Trainers for Plant Protection in Organic Farmings
TOPPlant project was established with the primary goal of creating a comprehensive training manual for plant protection in organic farming. The created manual contains both theoretical and practical information on ecological agriculture, encompassing strategies for managing pests, diseases, and also weeds.

NETPOULSAFE Networking European poultry actors for enhancing the compliance of biosecurity measures for a sustainable production
The main goal of the NetPoulSafe project is the networking of actors in the European poultry sector in order to increase epidemic prevention and production sustainability. The European Union's network established in this area by collecting so-called "supporting measures" aimed at the development of epidemic prevention systems in poultry farms, promoting the exchange of knowledge between actors in the European poultry sector.
