About me
Prof. Dr. Susana Cristobal (Linköping University, Sweden)
Susana Cristóbal is a Professor at Linköping University (LiU), Sweden, driving innovation in environmental proteomics, metaproteomics, and toxicoproteomics. She develops predictive frameworks to assess the impacts of pollutants on humans, marine organisms, and ecosystems, pioneering proteomics-based solutions to bridge environmental exposures with biological outcomes. Her group has advanced techniques such as thermal proteome profiling and shotgun proteogenomics in non-model species.
She currently leads the HALOBISE project (Water4All, 2025–2027), applying metaproteomics to monitor the dynamics of harmful algal bloom (HAB) holobionts and forecast ecosystem service disruptions. Prof. Cristóbal has held leadership roles in major EU initiatives (e.g., GOLIATH H2020, CYANOBESITY ERA-NET MB) and COST Actions, and serves on strategic steering boards for Swedish research networks in chemical safety and mass spectrometry.
Her interdisciplinary research integrates proteomics, mass spectrometry, exposomics, and systems biology to develop new tools for environmental health protection, aligning fully with Horizon Europe Cluster 6 priorities on biodiversity, pollution mitigation, and ecosystem resilience.
