Colgan View MoreCristina Caldelas Molina is Professor from Department of Plant Physiology at University of Barcelona. Her topic of interest is Fisiological response of plants to the toxicity of metals and metallic nanoparticles; Phytoremediation; Non-conventional stable isotopes.
Nanoparticles are particles less than 100 nm in diameter. Some of their physical and chemical properties are significantly different from the substances they are made from. This creates new materials of great commercial value, but unknown toxicity. The evaluation of nanoparticle uptake, toxicity, and accumulation in aquatic plants is essential. These plants have vital roles in the aquatic ecosystems and are widely used in water purification systems. To study plant’s response to metals and metallic nanoparticles we use a wide range of plant physiology, toxicology, microscopy, materials science, and stable isotope techniques. We count on the support of a multidisciplinary, intersectoral, and international board of expert collaborators.
