Om Natàlia Corcoll Cornet

Research Area

I do research in ecotoxicology and ecological impact assessment in aquatic ecosystems. My research focuses in developing new tools and approaches for ecological and chemical risk assessment that can be applied in biomonitoring programs and to improve the currrent water quality legislations. I am also interested in understanding the mechanisms of tolerance development to chemical toxicity in algae (evolutionary toxicology) and microbial biodegradation. To assess the impact of multiple-stressors on microbial communities is another important work in my research.

In my group we mainly use algae and benthic microbial communities (so-called aquatic biofilms) as biological models. They are considered important sources of food, oxygen production and are fundamental for biochemical cycles in rivers and coastal areas. Our research is primarly a collection of field and lab-based data that seek to find relationships between chemical pollution, among other environmental stressors, and structural, physiological and molecular responses of microbial communities. In collaboration with bioinformaticians we recently started to apply genomic tools (eg. DNA metabarcoding and metagenomics) to better understand toxicity mechanisms, effects and adaptative responses at molecular, species and community levels.
