Research interests

Aquatic toxicology, with particular emphasis on the study of the effects of environmental contaminants on aquatic species, namely at the level of neuroendocrine mechanisms, antioxidant defense, biotransformation and genotoxic vs. anti-genotoxic processes.

Potential of marine macroalgae as functional foods, focusing on their protective abilities of DNA integrity and neurosensory pathways.
