Marine research applied to Public Health

The MARINE RESEARCH APPLIED TO PUBLIC HEALTH research group at the University of Cádiz focuses its research activity on the study of the impact of human activities on the environment and microorganism communities. Within this general objective, one line of work is the analysis, distribution and environmental behavior of drugs in the environment and human health. In this line, our group has been developing the characterization of a wide variety of drugs, such as antibiotics, released into the environment. In addition, the toxicology and bioaccumulation of pharmaceuticals in marine species is being studied with special interest in species for human consumption. The study of microbial communities and their interactions with biogeochemical cycles in the marine environment, with emphasis on coastal environments (intertidal and estuarine) is another of the group's lines of work. Lately, attempts have been made to isolate and study microorganisms with possible biotechnological and biomedical interest.

• Evaluation of the effect of antimicrobials on the environment and resistance to antibiotics.
• Analysis, distribution and environmental behavior of drugs in the environment and human health.
• Toxicology of pharmaceutical products in marine species with special interest in species for human consumption.
• Study of microbial communities in the marine environment: ecology of potentially pathogenic microorganisms and isolation of microorganisms with potential pharmaceutical interest.
• Characterization of microbial activity and persistence, with special interest in pathogenic groups, in different natural or disturbed environmental conditions.
