Werner Brack

Werner Brack is head of the Effect-Directed Analysis Department at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Leipzig, Germany. Brack’s department develops tools to identify (eco)toxicologically-relevant chemicals in the water, sediments and biota of aquatic environments. He also leads a working group on effect-directed analysis (which focuses on the total effect of mixtures of pollutants in water rather than on individual chemical targets) as part of NORMAN, the EU-funded network on emerging pollutants.
