Graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at USP in 1983, he obtained a Masters in Science (Physiology) and a PhD in Experimental and Comparative Pathology, both also from USP, in 1986 and 1991, respectively. She joined Embrapa Meio Ambiente in 1990 as a researcher in the field of ecotoxicology. He currently works with toxicity assessment in non-target aquatic organisms of different trophic levels subjected to different environmental conditions. Therefore, it studies different biomarkers such as biochemical (enzymatic activity), physical, reproductive and behavioral changes. He has also been involved in the study and development of protocols for the assessment of the toxicity of nanomaterials and in their development for regulatory frameworks. She is a researcher associated with Embrapa's AgroNano Network and a collaborator in the postgraduate program in Sciences at CENA/USP. He was the technician in charge of the Ecotoxicology and Biosafety laboratory and established the zebrafish model in the laboratory. He has also studied the effects of agrochemicals and biopesticides on organisms. She is the coordinator of Ceua at Embrapa Meio Ambiente and a member of the CLPI of the same Unit.

Aquatic ecosystems are influenced by several environmental factors, such as, water temperature, oxygenation, nutrient availability, and exposure to UV rays. In addition, human activities can also be a threat due to the release of organic and inorganic compounds in aquatic ecosystems. Environmental and anthropogenic factors can interact to produce additive, synergistic or antagonistic effe…
Nanostructured graphene oxide has applications in areas such as electronics, pharmaceutical and environmental. Their diverse and promising uses raise concerns about the consequences to human and environmental health of the inadequate / inappropriate disposal of waste materials and/or products. Despite nanotoxicological studies have been intensified in recent years, gaps still remain in th…
The production and use of synthetic nanoparticles is rapidly growing. Therefore, the presence of these materials into the environment seems to be inevitable. However, the effects on humans and ecosystems exposed to nanoparticles have not been fully elucidated. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has several possibilities for industrial use, in cosmetics and even in water treatment. Thus, studies of i…
Atrazine is an herbicide still widely used in Brazil and that can remain in aquatic collections. The development of nanopesticides can help the mitigation of the disadvantageous of the conventional pesticide formulation technologies. In this sense, the nanoencapsulation of the herbicide atrazine can be a suitable strategy to combat the adverse effects in agriculture compared to its commer…
