Paulo Vale obtained his Ph.D. in Biology for the
characterization of DSP toxins in shellfish from the Portuguese coast. He
specialized in analysis of several marine biotoxins in shellfish and
phytoplankton by liquid chromatography coupled with DAD, FLD and Mass
Spectrometry detection. He has implemented LC methodologies for several toxin groups:
dinophysistoxins, pectenotoxins, azaspiracids, domoic acid, saxitoxins. He is
engaged with the Portuguese monitoring programme for marine biotoxins and
related public health research. He studies cycles associated with coastal
Harmful Algal Blooms and recent impacts from global change. He also studies
photobiology, heliobiology and bioelectromagnetism in microalgae cultures.
