I am a biochemist and researcher with interests in molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, and environmental health. My work focuses on understanding biological processes that influence human, animal, and ecosystem health through the integration of experimental and computational approaches. My research includes environmental genomics, microbial ecology, cyanobacteria, and cyanotoxins, with particular interest in their diversity, ecological interactions, and implications for public and environmental health. I am also interested in endocrine-disrupting and endocrine-modulating compounds, and their effects on cellular and physiological processes relevant to health and disease. By applying molecular biology, genomic, and metagenomic tools, I seek to investigate how organisms and biological communities respond to environmental stressors and how these responses affect ecosystem functioning and health outcomes. My broader interests include microbiomes, toxicology, risk assessment, and the development of innovative strategies for environmental monitoring and protection. My long-term goal is to contribute to a One Health perspective by advancing research at the interface of environmental, animal, and human health through interdisciplinary and evidence-based approaches.
