Dr Lisa Bickley

About me:

I have a broad background in environmental and aquatic biology, and work on collaborative projects between academia, industry and government bodies.

To date my research specialisms include:

• Aquatic (eco)toxicology; assessing the impacts of chemical, physical and biological stressors on aquatic organisms (e.g. fish); extrapolating effects measured in model species in the laboratory to adverse effects on wildlife populations and communities.
• Sustainable aquaculture development; understanding host-pathogen interactions in ecologically and commercially important diseases of aquaculture; developing molecular resources for use within the sector; developing more sustainable aquaculture practices both in the UK and globally.

My current role focuses on project development and delivery in support of the collaborative Centre for Sustainable Aquaculture Futures (https://www.exeter.ac.uk/research/saf/), a joint initiative between the Centre for Environment, Aquaculture and Fisheries Science (Cefas) and the University of Exeter.
