Dr. Schuhmacher is a renowned national and international expert in the environmental and human health risks associated with exposure to environmental chemicals ([https://www.deq.urv.cat/en/people/marta-schuhmacher/ Universitat Rovira i Virgili]). She has published approximately 346 papers in top scientific journals with 14711 citations and h-index of 73 ([https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marta-Schuhmacher Marta Schuhmacher]). She has supervised 25 doctoral and 45 master theses. Her recognition as an expert in the field is certified by the large number of invitations to plenary sessions (more than 20), preparation of reports (15), participation in European projects (15), as well as participation as an expert for more than 10 years in the evaluation commission of European projects (FP6, PF7, Horizon2020), and projects of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, and AGAUR.
Her researcher focused on the integration of Environmental and Health Risk Assessment with Life Cycle Analysis. Among the publications to highlight during this stage is the book: "Integrated Life-Cycle and Risk Assessment for Industrial Processes" Guido Sonneman, Marta Schuhmacher, Francesc Castells, 2 editions (2003, 2018) ([https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02994195 SpringerLink]). Also, an article was published as the result of an initiative of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) “ USEtox—the UNEP-SETAC toxicity model: Recommended characterization factors for a human toxicity and freshwater ecotoxicity in life cycle impact assessment ([https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11367-008-0038-4 SpringerLink]). From the work carried out for more than 3 years, a consensus scientific model was published which represents the updated recommended practice. This was a major advance in the application of LCA studies.
Another research field of Dr. Schuhmacher has focused on the development of innovative techniques for risk assessment, and their application to new and emerging chemical compounds, and very particularly to that of mixtures. This novel area represents a major advance in risk assessment and includes new strategies and methods in toxicity testing, such as “in silico” (computational methods) and “in vitro” (omics techniques) models, as well as the use of innovative methods in data processing ([https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0013935121005818?via%3Dihub ScienceDirect], [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29859370/ ScienceDirect], [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8835190/ PMC]).
One of the remarkable achievements of Dr. Schuhmacher is to be part of the European Network of Excellence Human Biomonitoring for Europe ([https://www.hbm4eu.eu/ HBM4EU]) recently re-established as the European partnership for the assessment of risks from chemicals (PARC) which supports local, national, and European authorities for regulating and managing the risk of chemical products. The aim of the network is to address the security challenges of current and emerging chemical compounds and generate a transition towards a newer methodology for the assessment of risks (Next generation risk assessment -NGRA). This has allowed Dr. Schuhmacher to establish close collaboration with European Agencies such as: the European Environment Agency ([https://www.eea.europa.eu/en EPA]), European Chemicals Agency-ECHA ([https://echa.europa.eu/ ECHA]), European Food Safety Authorities ([https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en EFSA]) and the World Health Organization ([https://www.who.int/ WHO]).
