Dr. Dirk Jungmann
My field of work is aquatic ecotoxicology with a focus on impact analysis. Hazard analyses are carried out and a risk assessment is made together with the exposure. My research partners in joint projects or contract research include universities, ministries, authorities and agencies.
I head the “Monitoring and Ecotoxicology” working group. I give lectures, seminars and practical courses in the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in water quality assessment, applied limnology and hypothesis-based work in science at TU Dresden.

My area of expertise is aquatic ecotoxicology with a focus on biomonitoring. Effect-based methods are employed to analyze and assess environmental samples. The primary focus is on cell-based techniques, specifically in vitro test methods. These approaches allow for the investigation of specific effects such as hormone activity, mutagenicity, and genotoxicity, as well as less specific effects such as oxidative stress.
I have been working in the Ecotoxicology research group for several years. During this time, I have supervised Bachelor’s and Master’s theses, as well as various internships. The application of our methods has proven successful in many areas, and we regularly receive positive feedback from students. Additionally, we occasionally supervise high school internships for students who wish to carry out their practical work in our research group.
