The TecnATox research group (URV-IISPV) is a member of the SPRINT consortium of the European Horizon 2020 Program. The project will develop a global risk assessment toolbox to assess the impact of pesticides on human health and adverse effects on plants, animals and ecosystems
Since 2006, fifteen promotions of master students have been graduated and more than 200 research works have been completed
It has been selected by the International Medical Informatics Association from among nearly 1400 scientific articles published in indexed journals in this ambit during 2019
A study by the URV has tested the method by which neural networks infer the laws of physics by accurately listing all possible combinations
An international team of archaeologists compiles recent research on the reconstruction of prehistoric technologies
Is a systematic review and meta-analysis of all the studies published to date. These results suggest that overweight/obesity prevention should be considered at an early age to avoid deleterious effects on reproductive health
Both tools have been found during this field-season at Unit TD08, and they are around 600,000 years old, a time characterized in Europe by a striking scarcity of human presence
The work is published in a scientific article led by Gizéh Rangel-de Lázaro of the Natural History Museum in London and an associated researcher of the IPHES-URV
The Doctoral program in Anthropology and Communication at the Rovira i Virgili University held the first defense of an online doctoral thesis. The work of the already doctor Hanan Ezzat addresses youth identities and the use of social networks in the Egyptian context and has been directed by Iolanda Tortajada
It lived around 2.6 million years ago and was significantly larger than the extant members of the genus Golunda
The combination of two techniques allows the in-depth analysis of the composition of insect dust which is increasingly sold as a dietary ingredient
URV researchers are taking part in a pioneering study that analyses the behavioural and molecular effects in the short, medium and long term resulting from exposure to chlorpyrifos, which may be related to hyperactivity, autism and addictions
These installations centralize large scale heating and the production of hot water. One study led by researchers from the URV has created a diagnostic tool that uses artificial intelligence to demonstrate the feasibility of these systems
An international team of researchers advocates the use of UV-C light in indoor spaces as a way to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 viruses. This solution meets the requirements of fast, scalable, and affordable implementation to fulfill the needs of disinfecting working spaces
URV researchers have developed a nanometric-scale theoretical model to create structures that kill bacteria by using elastic forces. The results of this study pave the way to creating new antibacterial materials
Large scale testing of the device is underway; in only 15 minutes and with just a single pinprick of blood it can determine with 100% reliability if a person has the disease or if they have developed antibodies to it
A study by the URV’s Cheminformatics and Nutrition research group has shown that an anti-inflammatory drug for humans and another for animals inhibit a key enzyme in the replication and transcription of the COVID-19 virus. The results of the work have been validated by the initiative COVIDMoonshot which has carried out in vitro studies and assessed their bioactivity. The results have been published in the “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”
The research opens the door to developing more natural drugs that are less toxic for patients with cancer. The results of this study led by researchers from the URV have been published in the journal Scientific Reports
A diet rich in fish or omega 3 modulates the concentration of lipids that are passed on to cells by lipoproteins and reduces the likelihood of atherosclerosis, according to the most exhaustive study carried out to date by Universitat Rovira i Virgili and Harvard Medical School on more than 26,000 women
