Dr. Cinta Porte (h-index = 62, 172 publications, 11,600 citations) specializes in the combined use of biochemical and chemical tools to evaluate the impact of pollution and human activities on aquatic ecosystems, with particular attention to endocrine disruptors. Her current research interests include the development and application of alternative in vitro methods based on fish and human cell lines, as well as advanced 3D models such as spheroids and organ-on-a-chip systems, with the aim of reducing the use of experimental organisms. These approaches have been applied to assess the toxicity of pharmaceuticals, plasticizers, plastic particles, and environmental samples, among other contaminants, and to investigate the mechanisms underlying endocrine disruption. The integration of lipidomics into these in vitro systems, including 3D spheroid models, represents an emerging research line aimed at identifying novel biomarkers of metabolic disturbance.
