BIOMET group works in:
-
Environmental impact of anthropogenic activities in the natural environment, phenomena of marine pollution.
-
Ecotoxicological studies in aquatic ecosystems, bioaccumulation, transport, and oxidative damage studies in various marine organisms – bioindicators, and study of the impact of chemical compounds on the food chain.
-
Chemistry of the atmospheric environment and indoor spaces, determination of various pollutants in aerosols.
-
Study of metal speciation in aquatic systems, responsible for biological activity and impact. Ecotoxicological study of trace elements in biological fluids.
-
Environmental studies of aquatic and marine ecosystems, in order to contribute to the establishment of environmental policy and legislation.

LAQBAM group works in two mainline
-
Study of metal species of environmental importance, focusing on their toxic effects (phytotoxicity, neurotoxicity).
-
Evaluation of the biological activity (antitumor, antimicrobial) of metal complexes.
Current Interests:
-
Chelators for the treatment of iron overload.
-
Metal complexes with antifungical and antileishmanial activity.
-
