COLLABORATORS: Ferrer de Molina, Ma del Mar. Main lines of research
The main research of the group is focused in envi- ronmental, occupational and genetic factors relat- ed to cancer, respiratory disease and child health. Among the main exposures, the group is focused on radiations (smartphones, UV, ionizing), water pollut- ants (disinfection by-products in drinking water and swimming pools), air pollution, transport and green spaces in urban areas, hormonal disruption, life style (diet, passive smoking), as well as occupation- al studies in cleaning workers and shift-work and circadian cycle disruption. In the last years we have
applied new technologies to assess the exposure (e.g. Smartphones), extensively used new biomed- ical technologies (Exposome, biomarkers, genom- ics, epigenetics, metabolomics) and implemented complex statistics and bioinformatics methods. The group has an important international reputation and devotes considerable efforts in education, dis- semination and knowledge transfer. Research of the group is funded by grants from FIS, FP7 (EU), and Horizon2020.
