Completed the Veterinary Medicine degree in 1997, started to teach Histology in 1998 (as a collaborator, then assistant trainee and then assistant) until now. Area of interest is Histology, Veterinary Pathology and Molecular techniques. Experience in several light microscopy techniques (routine and histochemistry protocols), immunohistochemistry, Western Blot protocols and sample preparation for confocal microscopy. Refinements of several protocols applied to zebrafish research, namely concerning the study of apoptosis, autophagy and cell proliferation markers - task 4 of the PTDC/CVT-WEL/4672/2012 project. The project stidued the toxicological effects of some anesthetics in zebrafish nervous system development. The study of the synthesis and redistribution of serotonin in the organism at the level of the central and peripheral nervous systems is also a subject of study, namely the correlation between serotonin levels alterations and some behavioural changes observed in zebrafish exposed to anesthetic agents. Other area of interest is the gut-brain-axis role in the regulation of the synthesis and redistribution of serotonin. Develops some work as a researcher at the Laboratory of Histology - Escola Universitária Vasco da Gama. Collaborator of CIVG (Centro de Investigação Vasco da Gama). Vast experience in internship tutoring of students of the Integrated Master in Veterinary Medicine. Necropsy techniques experience in mammals, birds and reptiles. Anatomopathological diagnosis.
