Coordinator of the Research Grous of the ULL, NUTRAHLIPIDS (https://portalciencia.ull.es/grupos/6273/detalle), and AQUAFISMAR
(IEO/ULL; http://aquafis.webs.ull.es/) focusing her main activities on aquaculture lipid nutrition and fatty acid metabolism in fish and cephalopods, including the metabolic monitoring of radioactively labeled fatty acids in isolated cells and in live larvae; the application of biotechnology in the search for biomarkers to assess the impact of climate change on marine organisms, and oil by land-based or seaweed alternatives for the sustainability of aquaculture and the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in animal and human health and nutrition. h-index , 25 Research gate, more than 70 publications in JCR (70% in Q1), member of 28 research projects and contracts in public competitive calls, PI of 10 of them, including two European subprojects (FP7 and Interreg-MAC) and three projects of the National Plan. 40 months of national and international research and teaching stays.

there are four main topics of my interest :
* multitrophic aquaculture and other sustainable aquaculture systems and processes,
* lipid metabolism an lipid biomarkers related to marine trophic ecology, global change and biodiversity conservation,
*improvement of omega-3 lc-pufa metabolism in animal nutrition and productions (milk, meat, eggs), as well as in human nutrition an health,
*characterization of lipid profiles, with particular emphasis to omega-3 fatty acids in plants and animals whatever the apllications give
