Activities
Ana Marta Gonçalves (h=25) has her expertise in biosafety and the valorization of
marine resources and their applications in the industrial sectors, such as food,
pharmaceutical and in agriculture. Sustainable and healthy food products from
marine resources (seaweed) are developed for a premium diet with appropriate
nutritional balance and potential functional benefits based on a circular economy production. Her studies also focus in biochemical
pathways and the impacts of stressors (envrionmental and chemical) in aquatic species to assess and improve
the health status of the ecosystems and wellbeing. Biomarkers tools are used to
assess the individuals’ body condition, monitoring water changes and management
of aquatic systems. Ana
