Olivier Armant, Ph.D, is Group Leader and Principal Investigator of the Laboratory of Ecology and Ecotoxicology (LECO) of radionuclides at the French Institute of Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN). His studies focus on the molecular mechanisms of the stress response to chronic low dose of radiations on zebrafish model and the ecological consequences of Chernobyl and Fukushima accident on wild life. He is a member of the High-Level Group on Low-Dose Research (HLG-LDR) Joint Topical Group Rad-Chem from OECD, and is observer for NEA, OECD at the working group on neurotoxic effects at the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR).
