She holds a professorship in Environmental Toxicology at Eberhard Karls University T眉bingen, as well as a professorship at the University of Queensland and an adjunct professorship at Griffith University, Australia. She is also a member of the German Council of Science and Humanities.

Beate Escher鈥檚 research interests focus on mode-of-action based environmental risk assessment, including methods for initial hazard screening and risk assessment of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, disinfection by-products and persistent organic pollutants with an emphasis on mixtures. One of Escher鈥檚 goals is to close the gap between exposure and effect assessment through common approaches linking bioavailability to internal exposure and effects via understanding and modelling of toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic processes.
