Professional profile
Lidia Contiero is a senior chemist at the SCS2 – Chemistry Unit of the Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie (IZSVe).
She graduated in Chemistry from the University of Padua in 2002 and earned a postgraduate specialization diploma in Chemical Methodologies for Control and Analysis from the same University in 2006.
Since 2007, she has served as a senior chemist in the SCS2 – Chemistry at the IZSVe, where she currently oversees official control activities for algal biotoxin residues in bivalve mollusks, as well as mycotoxins in animal feed, milk, and dairy products. Furthermore, she manages the development, validation, and implementation of analytical methods for institutional monitoring of algal biotoxin residues in bivalve mollusks and mycotoxins in animal feed.
Her research interests include the development and validation of rapid, effective analytical methods for detecting mycotoxin residues in cereals for human and animal consumption using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry or fluorescence detection, in connection with ongoing research projects.
