Susana Barros holds a PhD in Marine Science, Technology and Management (2024) from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro. Her PhD research was conducted at the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR), in collaboration with the Centre for the Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences (CITAB) and the Aquatic One Health Research Center (ARQUS), University of Santiago de Compostela. During this period, SBarros not only dedicated herself to developing her thesis on the generational effects of priority emerging pollutants, but also actively improved her multidisciplinary skillset by attending several advanced training courses. A major focus of SBarros’s research is the study of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), including pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). She takes an interdisciplinary approach to her studies, integrating methodologies from toxicology, biochemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics, histology, behavior, and analytical chemistry. This enables her to assess the complex impacts of CECs at different biological levels, from molecular interactions to population dynamics. Although she experience with several model species, zebrafish has been her main research model, giving her considerable expertise with this important model organism. This, has been crucial in her research and has established her as a skilled researcher in aquatic toxicology. More recently, SBarros has developed a growing interest in Contaminant-microbiota interactions. This emerging field has the potential to explain unexpected effects of contaminants and fill critical gaps in our understanding of the long-term effects of contaminants. By exploring these interactions, she aims to advance ERA methodologies and uncover novel insights into the mode of action (MoA) of CECs, particularly those with endocrine and metabolic disruption potential.
