• She was selected (2024-25) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as one of the 10 Italian researchers to represent Italy worldwide for the SWIT (Science Women of Italy) It has been presented in Italian embassies around the world. The goal of the exhibition (is to promote awareness of the achievements in STEM – an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – and the Italian women who have been protagonists in these fields, exploring the socio-environmental, cultural, and historical aspects while capturing the transformations that have occurred over time.

Maria Cristina Fossi is a renowned ecologist and ecotoxicologist, globally recognized for her innovative and groundbreaking contributions to marine ecotoxicology. Over the past thirty years, she has developed advanced methodologies to study the impact of toxic substances on marine ecosystems, focusing particularly on the effects of environmental contaminants on marine biota. She is Full Professor of Ecology and Ecotoxicology at the University of Siena (UNISI) and was since 2000 Scientific Director of the Biomarker Laboratory -Plastic Busters of Siena University (https://plasticbusters.unisi.it/). She has conducted essential research to understand how pollution from Legacy Contaminants, heavy metals, pesticides, microplastics and Emerging Chemicals affects the health of marine organisms (particularly endangered species) and food chains, leading to greater awareness and solutions to protect the oceans and marine biodiversity. Her work has significantly contributed to changing the way chemical impacts on marine environments are studied and monitored. Her scientific career has been marked by a series of significant breakthroughs both in terms of the topic addressed and the methodologies used, which were often unconventional.

The key milestones in her career are listed below:

• In the early 1990s, by collaborating with some of the world's leading researchers on this topic (Prof. M. Depledge, Prof. L. Shugart, Prof. M. Moore), she made a fundamental contribution to the development of the biomarker approach in terrestrial and marine ecotoxicology. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf00117081
• At the end of the 1990s, she developed, in a complete break from the ecotoxicological world, for the first time innovative Non-Destructive Biomarker techniques for studying endangered species in a non-lethal way, publishing the first monograph in the world on this topic (https://doi.org/10.1201/9780367813703). She developed innovative diagnostic tools for ecotoxicological assessment of threatened species (marine mammals, birds, reptiles) bringing to the establishment of methods (non-destructive biomarker approach) currently acknowledged as the golden standard at the international level.
• Thanks to her work on skin biopsies of marine mammals, she is a world reference for the assessment of ecotoxicological risk in cetaceans. She made a fundamental contribution within the IWC, since 2000 (International Whaling Commission) in fighting against the killing of whales for scientific purposes (doi: 10.1016/s0141-1136(00)00127-6.).
• In 2001 she published the first papers on effects of Endocrine Disruptors in Med marine top predators. (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0141-1136(01)00107-6)
• In 2012 she provided the first evidence worldwide on the effects of microplastics on baleen whales, investigating the presence and effect of microplastics and plasticizers in Mediterranean ecosystems.(https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2012.08.013)
• Since 2013 she pioneered the groundbreaking idea of uniting the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean in the fight against marine litter (https://plasticbusters.unisi.it/). She has been (from 2013 until now) the scientific coordinator of the "Plastic Busters"(PB) initiative devoted to monitoring and mitigating the impact of Marine litter in the Mediterranean Sea. The Plastic Buster Project was elected as Flagship Project of Med-SDSN (http://www.sdsn-mediterranean.unisi.it) from 2013 and from 2016 Union for Mediterranean (UfM)(ufmsecretariat.org).
• Since 2022, she has been making an innovative contribution to the development of diagnostic methodologies to detect the effects of emerging contaminants and multiple stressors on iconic marine species (cetaceans, birds, and turtles).
