Isabelle Oswald PhD, HDR

Isabelle Oswald joined INRA in 1994 after a PhD in Rennes (1990) and a post-doctorate (1990-94) in Bethesda (USA). Since 2002, she has been leading the "Biosynthesis and Mycotoxin Toxicity" team, which works on three aspects of the mycotoxin problem: mechanisms for the production of toxins by fungi, the impact of mycotoxins on human and animal health (particularly pork), and the development of strategies to control the contamination and effects of these toxins. The team is involved in several national and international projects focusing on mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol, fumonisin, zearalenone, or patulin as well as projects aimed at studying mixtures of food contaminants. Isabelle Oswald is an expert at ANSES (Chemical and Physical Contaminants and Contaminants Committee and Animal Feed Committee and Food Committee), ILSI (International Life Sciences Institute), and EFSA ("Contaminants" panel and several groups working). She has participated in or participated on the editorial board of several journals
