Marta Casado (h index = 10, 22 publications, 260 citations) is a High Scientific Officer of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) since 2008. She graduated in Chemistry in 1992 (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Spain) and obtained her master degree in Chemistry in 1994. She belongs to CSIC since 2004, where she entered as Intermediate Specialist technician. She is specialized in ecotoxicogenomics studies, more specifically in the evaluation of the biological activity of compounds and complex mixtures (field samples) through recombinant yeast cultures, as well in the analysis of gene expression alterations caused by these exogenous compounds or samples. In addition, she has been involved in metabolomics studies with zebrafish (Danio rerio), including the determination of lipids by UPLC-MS and of polar metabolites by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

EPIBOOST
BOOSting excellence in environmental EPIgenetics (EPIBOOST) joins a widening partner and two internationally-leading partners that will steer a solid capacitation strategy towards tackling the challenges to the recently proposed uptake of epigenomics by Environmental Assessment frameworks. Capacitation activities cover for 5 specific objectives. The 1st is to optimize research protocols, enhancing the practical skills and research profile of the Widening partner for the development of excellent Science in the field of environmental epigenetics. The 2nd objective is focused on the seeding of the talent that will sustain the European critical mass at the best world-class standards in the field, through the organization of several training events (advanced courses, summer schools and short courses in scientific meetings) targeting young EU researchers. The 3rd and 4th objectives regard the absolute need of a capacitated science management and administrative support to effectively grow world-class research in the field. The fifth addresses network growing and will be achieved through a systematic strategy for involving international flagship experts in capacitation activities and stakeholders in the project, which will strengthen the Consortium for new research and innovation ventures.
