ECOSPHERE (UA), more
The research group Systemic Physiological and Ecotoxicological Research (SPHERE) of the University of Antwerp holds this name since 2012, and was formerly known as Ecophysiology, Biochemistry and Toxicology (EB&T). The group was founded in 1973 and was initially named laboratory of Biochemistry and General Zoology. SPHERE conducts research on important issues of environmental and adaptational biology. The research group focuses on how organisms respond to environmental changes with an emphasis on the different levels of biological organisation: from the molecular level (including genomics, proteomics and metabolomics) to the broader response of populations in real field situations. Expertises include molecular, cellular and organismal toxicity tests; characterisation of mode of action of microcontaminants; analysis of inorganic and organic contaminants; chemical and biological monitoring and diagnostics; development of application of biomarkers and sensors; modelling of bioavailability, accumulation and toxicity.

Within the marine domain, SPHERE studies the following topics:
- The combined effects of temperature, hypoxia, carbon dioxide and nitrogen on the ion regulation of fish;
- Trophic transfer and bioaccumulation of contaminants in food webs in the Scheldt Estuary and the North Sea;
- The intake and toxicity of metals in marine and estuarine areas for key species such as mussels and scallops, fish and sharks;
- Fate and effects of microplastics in marine environments;
- Modelling and bioaccumulations of pollutants in marine organisms.

SPHERE participates within several marine projects dealing with topics such as the effects of pollutants on populations and benthic communities in the North Sea, and the influence and recovery of anthropogenic interventions on fish populations. The network of the research group includes both Belgian and international universities as well as Flemish scientific institutes such as the Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (ILVO).
