Dr. Donald Włodkowic is a professor in Cell Biology and Toxicology at the School of Science, RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. He is heading the Neurotox Laboratory, an interdisciplinary facility focused on ecotoxicity and neurotoxicity testing. He holds an M.Sc. in Experimental Biology from Adam Mickiewicz University and a Ph.D. in Cell Biology from the University of Kuopioin. He is one of Australia’s leading experts in experimental behavioral eco-neurotoxicology, with interests spanning the effects of industrial pollutants, neurotoxins, and neuroactive drugs on central nervous systems. He has also pioneered a range of next-generation laboratory biotechniques, such as biomicrofluidic technologies for toxicology research on small aquatic model organisms. His current research activities encompass aquatic ecotoxicology, behavioral ecotoxicology, predictive neurotoxicology, and water quality assessment, including real-time early-warning biomonitoring systems.
