Daniel Sacristan Moraga

Daniel Sacristan Moraga is a Professor in the Department of Plant Biology at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, Universitat de València. He is affiliated with the Desertification Research Centre (CIDE) and the research group ALISOST, which focuses on Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Food. His work bridges plant biology, soil science, and agricultural chemistry.

Research Interests: His research centers on soil-plant interactions, particularly the toxicity and bioaccumulation of heavy metals such as copper in Mediterranean agricultural soils. He investigates both accumulator and non-accumulator crop species like lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), aiming to develop risk assessment models and sustainable management strategies for contaminated soils.

His doctoral research laid the foundation for understanding metal uptake dynamics in representative Mediterranean agroecosystems. Though no recent publications are listed, his expertise lies in environmental contamination, food safety, and sustainable soil management.

Education:

• PhD, Universitat de València, 2015

He has contributed to research through the ALISOST group and collaboration with the CIDE, a leading center in desertification and land degradation studies. While no specific grants or student supervision details are provided, his institutional affiliations suggest active involvement in interdisciplinary environmental and agricultural research projects.
