Activity summary

Background in emerging marine toxins monitoring, optimization of analytical detection techniques, mapping new vectors and calculating public health risk. Currently investigates the ecotoxicology of emerging contaminants (nanoparticles, microplastics, pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, etc.) and climate change.

Highlights

Tetrodotoxins Occurrence in Non-Traditional Vectors of the North Atlantic Waters (Portuguese Maritime Territory, and Morocco Coast) First Report of Ciguatoxins in Two Starfish Species: Ophidiaster ophidianus and Marthasterias glacialis Determination of Gonyautoxin-4 in Echinoderms and Gastropod Matrices by Conversion to Neosaxitoxin Using 2-Mercaptoethanol and Post-Column Oxidation Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection Paralytic Shellfish Toxins Occurrence in Non-Traditional Invertebrate Vectors from North Atlantic Waters (Azores, Madeira, and Morocco) New Invertebrate Vectors for PST, Spirolides and Okadaic Acid in the North Atlantic
