Susana Cristobal

Prof. Dr. Susana Cristobal is Professor at Linköping University, Sweden, with expertise in proteomics, toxicoproteomics, exposomics and environmental health. Her research investigates how chemicals, bioactive compounds and environmental stressors affect biological systems, from molecular interactions and mechanisms of toxicity to organismal and ecosystem-level responses.

Her group develops and applies mass spectrometry-based proteomics and metaproteomics to investigate chemical–protein interactions, biological responses to chemical exposure and the functional activity of microbial communities. Key approaches include thermal proteome profiling, Proteome Integral Solubility Alteration (PISA) and shotgun proteogenomics in non-model organisms. Her research contributes to mechanistic and predictive toxicology, environmental effect assessment and understanding molecular processes relevant to human and ecosystem health.

She coordinates the Water4All project HALOBISE and has contributed to European research projects including GOLIATH and CYANOBESITY.

She welcomes interdisciplinary collaborations connecting environmental exposures, molecular mechanisms and biological outcomes, particularly in human and environmental health, One Health, biodiversity, systems biology and mechanistically informed toxicity and risk assessment.
