Paula Alvito has got a PhD in Biology and develops her research activity at the Food and Nutrition Department, National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA) in food safety and toxicology domains. Dr. Alvito is a European Registered Toxicologist (ERT) and an integrated member at the Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM), University of Aveiro, Portugal. She had h-index 24, published 53 scientific papers, 2 book chapters, 25 scientific reports, among others. She has been actively involved in various research projects, focused on food contaminants toxicity namely mycotoxin bioavailability, exposure assessment, biomonitoring, food safety and risk assessment. Dr. Alvito collaborates with the INFOGEST network, which aims to harmonise in vitro protocols simulating human digestion and intestinal transport. She also organizes international conferences (International Conference on Food Contaminants- ICFC, since 2015), national seminars, and science communication and cultural activities, supervises PhD and MSc students, is reviewer and guest editor of special issues of several journals in the area of food safety and food toxicology, and integrates the editorial Board of the World Mycotoxin Journal.

  9. Evaluation of combined cytotoxic effects of effects of ochratoxin A and fumonisina B1 in human liver and renal cells. Mycotoxins are fungal food contaminants with potential to cause severe acute and chronic conditions1. Therefore, food contamination with mycotoxins such as ochratoxin A (OTA) and fumonisin B1 (FB1) causes great concern. Previous studies addressed the co-occurrence of these toxins in foods2, however there is little knowledge on their combined cytotoxic effects. In the present study we aimed to eval. 2015.
