University of Valencia

This research team from the University of Valencia is made up of Vicente Andreu Pérez and Dyana Vitale, both with extensive experience in environmental and food science research. They provide cutting-edge analytical technology and services for the determination of contaminants and natural components, focusing their activities on the areas of environmental health, food quality and safety, as well as risk assessment and the study of human exposure.

The research group addresses in-depth inter- and multidisciplinary aspects of environmental problems, proposing new tools that integrate concepts such as natural capital, the flow of ecosystem services it generates, and environmentalomics, focusing on advancing a relatively new science: environmental forensics. In this field, the group has worked on important advances in systems and models for monitoring and assessing exposure pathways, and on developing tools and workflows to improve understanding of their impact on the environment and humans.

The research group's primary objective is to contribute to environmental improvement by studying the impact of climate change and its human impact on nutrition and human health, as well as its consequences and possible solutions. This line of research focuses on climate change and embraces the "One-Health" concept, an integrated approach to the interactions between the environment, biota, and human beings to achieve effective overall health.
