Prof. van den Berg obtained his Master of Science and Doctorate degrees in Environmental and Toxicological Chemistry from the University of Amsterdam in 1986. His diverse areas of research encompass toxicokinetics, metabolism, reproductive effects, mixture and interactive effects of persistent halogenated organic pollutants Moreover, he investigated the interactions between xenobiotics and phytochemicals on steroid hormone synthesis, metabolism, and their correlation with hormone-dependent tumors. Another significant aspect of his research involves the development of in vitro assays to detect effects of endocrine disruptors e.g. on aromatase. These comprehensive studies were conducted on a wide range of subjects, including mammals, birds, fish, as well as (human) in vitro systems. The outcomes of his scientific endeavors, along with those of his research group, have been disseminated through the publication of 400+ scientific articles, short papers, and conference proceedings.
