Maria Serafim currently works as a medical doctor at the Local Health Unit of Algarve located in Faro Hospital, in the area of clinical pathology. Moreover, she conducts research at the Centre for Marine and Environmental Research of the University of Algarve (UALG), Portugal. M. Serafim has a degree in Marine Biology awarded from the University of Algarve in 1993. Since then, she has been working in the field of ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry, achieving her PhD degree in 2004 in Environmental Sciences and Technology - Area of Aquatic Environment. After her PhD, M. Serafim completed her first postdoctoral research on metabolic and physiological adaptations of hydrothermal organisms naturally exposed to toxic compounds. Then, she developed a second postdoctoral research, this time focusing on the study of human health in relation to environmental factors. In 2008, she began her career as an independent investigator, securing a Post-Doctoral Research Position "Science 2007". In 2017, she completed the Integrated Master of Medicine (MIM) at the University of Algarve. On the same year, she started a third postdoctoral project on environmental factors contributing to the risk of developing breast cancer. Since her graduation, M. Serafim has participated in 10 national and international projects. She also co-supervised the scientific work of several students within the context of their Master's and PhD studies (both national and international) and directed five scientific projects within the Master's Program in Integrated Medicine at the University of Algarve. M. Serafim has published 62 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, garnering over 2241 citations. Moreover, she has published 53 articles in proceedings of seminars, symposia, or congresses and presented 32 oral presentations and 63 posters at national and international conferences.
