abstract = {The increase in children obesity worldwide has been of particular concern in recent decades.
Environmental factors have been proposed as contributors to obesity, and there is a growing concern
over obesogens, environmental chemicals with potential obesity-related endocrine-disrupting
properties. In this regard, bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogues are suspected to have obesogenic
properties. Current document report on the activities of the fellow, undertaken during the fourth,
2020–2021 cycle of the EU-FORA programme at the University of Granada, Institute of Nutrition and
Food Science, in Spain. The work programme offered by the hosting site was related to the
extrapolation of bisphenols exposure following the determination of these compounds in food
frequently consumed by children and in their biological samples. The fellow has participated in the
recruitment of the study population in the health centres. In addition, she has participated in the
collection of the children biological samples, anthropometric measurements and dietary surveys and in
the optimisation of the laboratory methodology for the extraction of bisphenols in biological samples.
All these activities also provided the fellow an opportunity to develop her data science related skills,
which will benefit her professional development. In addition, the fellow gained an overview of various
topics related to food safety risk assessment by attending the EU-FORA dedicated training modules.},
