Activities

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.
