Activity summary

Her scientific interests are related to the study of toxicological pathways and mechanisms, and chemical modes of action in the marine environment using “omic” technologies and other biomarker tools, applied to the fields of ecotoxicology, ecology, and biotechnology. She is involved in several national and international projects and her academic experience includes the supervision of 4 PhD and 12 MSc students, over 90 communications in international conferences and 60 articles in SCI journals.
