Cross-cutting lines

One health

We address human, animal and environmental health as an interconnected system.

We provide scientific solutions to anticipate risks, protect public health and strengthen food safety in a context of climate change and environmental transformation.

Research sublines

Food safety and emerging risks

We develop methods to detect, assess and control microbiological and chemical hazards in food and food-related environments. We conduct surveillance of pathogens, contaminants and antimicrobial resistance, reinforcing food safety and protecting human and animal health.

Environment, climate and health

We investigate how pollution and climate change influence the emergence and spread of health risks, from emerging contaminants to indirect impacts on disease dynamics and food safety, generating knowledge for prevention and adaptation.

Analytical technologies and precision nutrition

We apply sensors, omics technologies, artificial intelligence and data analytics to enable early risk detection and develop tailored nutrition strategies, supporting healthier, safer and more personalised diets under the One Health framework.
