The distribution and bioaccumulation of pharmaceuticals have been characterized in seawater, sediment and biota from the Mar Menor lagoon and recently published in Environmental Research.

First PHARMASEA paper published in 2023 in the scientific journal “Science of the Total Environment” talks about mechanistic evidence of carbamazepine and valsartan effects on the Mediterranean mussels

Precision-Cut Tissues Slices (PTCS) from the digestive gland of mussels: innovative experimental approach to investigate the APIs mechanisms of actions.

Four pharmaceuticals and their mixture were tested on mussels to evaluate their bioaccumulation and biological effects

The bioaccumulation of two pharmaceuticals in mussels and their biological effects at controlled conditions were characterized

The PharmaSea project has turned one year old: a good opportunity to celebrate together our achievements

The team of University of Heidelberg investigated the activity of Cytochrome P450 enzymes in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos with the 7-methoxycoumarin-O-demethylase (MCOD) assay

PHARMASEA participated to Moby Litter III: an event that combines research, sustainability and economy

Coiling is a well-preserved behaviour of zebrafish embryos. Since it follows a certain pattern, it can be used to detect changes caused by stressors.

Such an exciting week for the PharmaSea Consortium attending the 21st International Symposium on Pollutants Responses in Marine Organisms in Gothenburg

PharmaSea Consortium attended the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) in Copenhagen.

Sampling activities for the UNIVPM team have begun: three areas characterized by different environmental and anthropogenic pressures in the Northern, Central and Southern Adriatic Sea have been selected

The PHARMASEA Consortium gathered for the first virtual kick-off meeting to discuss the aims of various Work Packages, the time plan of scheduled activities, the general structure and internal organization of the project

SHARPER Night 2021: an opportunity for researchers of UNIVPM team to raise general public’s awareness on the issue of pharmaceuticals as environmental pollutants

PHARMASEA was mentioned in the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) working group on Biological Effects of Contaminants
