CV Lattes
Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Faculdade de Tecnologia (FT) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
She holds a degree in Biological Sciences (Bachelors and Teaching Licensure) from the Institute of Biosciences at São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP) and a Masters degree in Geosciences and the Environment from the Institute of Geosciences and Exact Sciences at UNESP. She earned a Ph.D. in Animal Biology from the Institute of Biology at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), with a research exchange period at the University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom. Currently, she is a FAPERJ Nota 10 Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Oceanography at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ). She is a member of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), the Brazilian Society of Ecotoxicology (ECOTOX-BRASIL), and the editorial board of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Contamination. She was a Professor at the Carlos Chagas Filho Institute of Biophysics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), specializing in Environmental Biophysics, Biodiversity, and Environmental Contamination. Her research expertise lies in the fields of Aquatic Ecotoxicology and Environmental Chemistry, with a focus on the following areas: analysis of inorganic and organic contaminants; development of methods for contaminant determination in various environmental matrices; contaminant interactions with biota and effect assessment; ecotoxicological models; and environmental monitoring.

Silver has been largely incorporated in the nanomaterials due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. Currently, the silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are being released into the environment in amounts that are becoming an environmental concern. Studies about AgNP discuss whether the toxicity of this nanomaterial is due the ionic silver dissolution or if the nanoparticles themselves are the…
Marine ecosystems near to the continent are very sensitive to local environmental changes, where biodiversity is extremely significant, with several species of economic importance and used for human consumption. Determination of metals in areas where the marine ecosystem and human activities are intersected and connected is extremely important to evaluate interference and modifications th…
Behavioural and reproduction responses related to chemical exposure are important endpoints because they allow to link effects obtained at biochemical/cellular levels to the impacts observed on population health and fitness. Nowadays, studies about silver effects in aquatic organisms are becoming important to better understand the effects and assess the risks of the silver release in the …
