My research as a mycologist focuses on improving food safety by studying fungi that produce mycotoxins—harmful compounds that spoil crops and pose serious risks to human and animal health. I use advanced methods to identify these fungi and assess their impacts, uncovering a complex diversity of mycotoxins, often a "mycotoxin cocktail," which underscores the challenge for food safety. I am particularly interested in how environmental factors and climate change drive mycotoxin production and contribute to the spread of fungi, with the goal of developing sustainable strategies to reduce contamination, especially in developing countries where food security is vulnerable.
Currently, I am a senior lecturer at FABI-UP, where I train future scientists in mycology with a focus on agricultural pathogens, such as Fusarium, that threaten crop safety. Recently, I've been working on quick detection techniques for these pathogens and exploring the genes responsible for mycotoxin production. I also contribute to the disease clinic by assisting with pathogen identifications and sharing knowledge with farmers to support proactive measures against contamination.
I serve as the Secretary of the African Mycological Association, which allows me to engage closely with African mycologists and highlight the unique challenges and opportunities in the region. Engaging with African mycologists is crucial, as the continent faces distinct ecological and agricultural challenges, making local expertise and collaborative efforts essential for addressing mycotoxin-related threats effectively.
In addition to my research, I am passionate about science communication. I lead a Citizen Science project in South Africa, introducing young people to the fascinating world of fungi to inspire a new generation of scientists and mycologists.
