Demetrio Raldúa Pérez
Description
Dr. Demetrio Raldúa research interest is the understanding of the molecular bases of the neurotoxic effects of some environmental pollutants and drugs. By using zebrafish as a vertebrate model, he tries to identify the AOPs of neurotoxicants by linking molecular pathways to adverse effects at neurobehavioral level. Dr. Raldua has recently coordinated two NATO Science for Peace and Security funded projects, building zebrafish models of different human neurotoxidromes. He is also developer of the “Thyroid method 7a: Measurement of intrafollicular thyroxine (T4) using zebrafish eleutheroembryos'' (https://tsar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/test-method/tm2019-16)”, currently under validation by the EU Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing (EURL ECVAM).
