Miriam Carolina Pérez Cova graduated in 2016 in chemistry from the University of La Laguna, (Spain), and received her MSc (2017) in Analytical and Bioanalytical Sciences from University of Oviedo (Spain) and University of Pau and Pays de l’Adour (France). She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. studies at CSIC-IDAEA in Barcelona (Spain). She works in the development of omics (mainly metabolomics and lipidomics) methodologies, based on mass spectrometry for the study of pollutants’ effects in environmental model organisms, with a major research focused on LC-MS, LC×LC-MS and MSI.

Metodologías analíticas y quimiométricas aplicadas a química ambiental
This project aims the integration and consolidation of the work performed over the last years in the development of analytical and chemometric tools and methodologies for environmental chemistry studies. In particular, we propose improving analytical and chemometric methodologies for:
1) advanced monitoring and modelling of the presence of pollutants (exposition) in the environment and for their throughput untargeted analytical determination;
2) evaluation of the effects and fate of these pollutants on target biological organisms; and
3) elimination and remediation of these effects.
