The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: Ecotoxicology/toxicology studies of xenobiotic products on aquatic fauna. Acute, chronic and sublethal studies in the standardized invertebrate Daphnia magna and other aquatic invertebrates Population growth inhibition studies in microalgae. Toxicological studies, teratogenicity/embryogenicity in fish /invertebrates embryos. Ecotoxicological/toxicological implications of chemical products used in aquaculture, agriculture, derived from daily use in humans, drugs.... Ecotoxicological analysis of urban wastes, WWTPs, new chemicals such as pesticides. Water quality. Use of biomarkers to determine endocrine (reproductive, metabolic), physiological (induction of the correct stress response), and enzymatic disruption. Induction of oxidative stress and phase I, II and III detoxification processes) as well as recovery of individuals after a contaminant event. Bioremediation.
