Bioassay-based investigations on Arctic beluga blubber samples
Principal Investigator: Wania, Frank
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5471. The objectives of this research project are to: 1. Characterize the effects that chemical extracts from the traditional food samples have on a number of cellular processes. Their results can indicate the type of toxicity that those chemical extracts may cause. 2. Use the Arctic beluga as a "clean" reference in inves...

Beluga Lung and Ear Health
Principal Investigator: Morell Ybarz, Maria
Licensed Year(s): 2015 2014
Summary: The overall goal of our project is to study indicators of beluga health, which will lead to increased knowledge about normal function and how disease and human activities may impact belugas in the Western Arctic.
