Short CV: Dr. Cinta Porte (h-index=50, 164 publications, 5470 citations) is specialized in the combined use of biochemical and chemical tools to evaluate the impact of pollution and human pressure on aquatic ecosystems, with special attention to endocrine disrupters. Her current research interests include the development and application of alternative in-vitro methods based on the use of fish and human cell lines or isolated subcellular fractions in order to reduce the use of experimental organisms. These techniques have been applied to evaluate the toxicity of drugs, synthetic musks, plasticizers and environmental samples, as well as in studies of endocrine disruption. The application of lipidomics analysis to these in-vitro systems constitutes a new research line, whose objective is to develop new biomarkers of metabolic disturbance.
LIPIDprint
Studying the interaction pollutant-lipidome in aquatic model organisms
This project explores lipidome analysis together with the use of alternative methods (different cell lines, tissue fragments) to characterize the alterations produced by a preselected number of compounds (i.e. plastic additives) in the aquatic environment (mollusks and fish)

ENFOCAR
Innovative approach in the detection of cytotoxic substances in reclaimed and drinking water
Reclaimed wastewater constitutes a valuable source of water resources, but its disinfection is essential to guarantee its sanitary quality. ENFOCAR aims to develop an innovative approach to detect and identify the most relevant toxic substances in this type of water, and thus be able to minimize them. The ultimate goal is to promote the use of this water resource with full guarantee, extend its applications, and improve social acceptance of this practice.
