In this study, our researchers Joana Leal and Maria de Lurdes Cristiano analysed the toxicological profile of a microalgae that can cause consequences to humans through the ingestion of clams and mussels.
Joana will work with marine biotoxins that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP).
The winner idea aims to develop innovative tools to control infections in shellfish and fish.
