Biologist specializing in analytical chemistry and biochemical methods applied to food safety, specifically in the development and validation of laboratory procedures for marine biotoxins by LC-MS/MS, LC-UV, LC-FLD and PCR. Good knowledge of the institutional and European legal framework of food safety control. Skilled in international accreditation processes following the ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and in statistical methods applied for the validation and quality control of analytical data. Ongoing education was achieved by participating in several national conferences and training courses, mostly on biotoxins control in food and feed. Involved in research activities aiming to assess the low background level of emerging contaminants and emerging marine biotoxins in the different environmental compartment using often biota as bioindicators. Co-author of several scientific publications (international journals and conferences proceedings), mostly on contaminants and biotoxins analytical method development and environmental and food monitoring.
