Curriculum Vitae

Maria Edite da Silva Oliveira Torres

Maria Edite da Silva Oliveira Torres completed her PhD in Pharmacy in 2015/01/22 at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Lisbon, in the speciality of Toxicology, her Master's Degree in Quality Control and Food Toxicology in 2001 at the same faculty and her Degree in Engineering Sciences - Chemical Engineering in 1991 at the Instituto Superior Técnico of the University of Lisbon. Her doctoral research focussed on the research and validation of biomarkers, pyrrolic compounds (detected for the first time), resulting from the biotransformation of the toxic solvent n-hexane in animal urine, by LC-MS/MS. She has published 13 articles in specialised journals, somes of Toxicology, and participated in some events. She has supervised 9 master's dissertations in the area of the toxicity of toxic compounds and was a jury of 13 academic degrees, 12 of them in the field of toxicology. She participated as a Research Fellow in 3 projects. She has received 2 awards and/or honours. She is Chair of the Pedagogical Committee for the Degree in Forensic and Criminal Sciences (DFCS) at the Egas Moniz School of Health & Science and a member of the Quality Assurance Committee for DFCS Teaching. She is also a member of the Accreditation Committee for the DFCS and Teaching Coordinator for the 2nd year of DFCS at IUEM. She is an Assistant Professor at Egas Moniz Cooperativa de Ensino Superior CRL, Portugal and researcher at the Egas Moniz Interdisciplinary Research Centre. She works in the areas of Chemistry and Toxicology. In her CV, the most frequent terms used to contextualise her scientific production are: Toxic compounds, Heavy metals, Toxic solvents, Cannabis L. Sativa, Cannabinoids, Cannabinoid biosynthesis, Endocannabinoid system, Therapeutic applications; Heated tobacco; Prevalence; Public health; University students.
