Maria Margalef Jornet

Maria Margalef Jornet is an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Science, specifically in the Department of Chemistry for Environment & Health at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research focuses on environmental toxicology, chemical analysis, and public health, with expertise in pharmacology and health risk assessment.

Her research interests include studying the effects of chemical mixtures on biological systems, such as the thyroid hormone system and marine organisms like Mytilus edulis. She also explores advanced analytical techniques like high-throughput effect-directed analysis (HT-EDA) and the development of biocompatible membranes for toxin removal.

Her recent work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to assess complex chemical mixtures' impacts on health and the environment, as seen in projects like PANORAMIX. She teaches courses such as Chemical Toxicology: From Exposure to Health Effects and Human and Environmental Toxicology.

Margalef Jornet collaborates internationally on environmental and toxicological research, contributing to peer-reviewed journals and advancing methodologies for toxicity identification and risk assessment.
