Marine Toxin Research Center

The Marine Toxin Research Center studies natural toxins produced by marine organisms like algae, shellfish, and fish. These toxins can cause illnesses in humans when contaminated seafood is consumed. The center's goal is to understand how these toxins form, how they affect health, and to develop methods for detecting, monitoring, and managing toxicity in seafood. Their work helps ensure food safety, protect public health, and advance knowledge about marine biotoxins, supporting regulations and safety standards for seafood industries worldwide.
