**About the Editors**

**Angeles Jos** is a Full Professor of Toxicology in the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Seville. Born and raised in Seville, she has developed her professional career mainly at the University of Seville with postdoctoral work at the University of Bern (Switzerland). She is a senior scientist in the Toxicology (CTS-358) research group at the Department of Food Science, Toxicology and Legal Medicine. Her research interests are in the field of food safety, particularly in the hazard characterization of different toxicants present in food. Among them, cyanotoxins (mainly microcystins and cylindrospermopsin) have a pivotal role in her line of research, studying their toxic effects using both in vitro and in vivo methods, investigating their toxic mechanisms (genotoxicity, oxidative stress, etc.), and developing analytical methods for their determination in water and food samples.

**Ana M. Came ´an** obtained a Ph.D. in Pharmacy from the University of Seville (US) (1985) and has been a Professor of Toxicology at US since 2005. She has developed her teaching and research career in the Toxicology Section of the Department of Food Science, Toxicology and Legal Medicine at US. She has been the leader of the Toxicology (CTS-358) research group since its creation. Her research interests are in the area of food safety, focusing mainly on the study of cyanotoxins (microcystins, cylindrospermopsin) present in water and food, evaluating their transference through the development and validation of methods for their determination, and studying their toxic effects with in vitro and in vivo models as well as the effects of cooking, histopathological alterations, bioaccessibility, etc. In parallel, evaluating the safety of various natural products in food packaging or as antioxidants in feed is also of interest.
