Susana Barros holds a PhD in Marine Science, Technology and Management (2024) from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), with her PhD research being developed at the Centre for the Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences (CITAB) in collaboration with the Institute of Research in Chemical and Biological Analysis (IAQBUS-USC) from the University of Santiago de Compostela. Although she only recently competed her PhD, SBarros has more than 10 years of research experience in the field of environmental toxicology, with her research focus being placed on the long-term effects of endocrine disruptors and emerging contaminants, using Danio rerio and Gammarus locusta as main model organisms. Her studies include evaluation of endpoints at several levels of organization, from molecular and biochemical to tissue and apical endpoints. SBarros scientific interests have also been expanded to the effects of deep sea mining, transgenerational epigenetic studies in the context of environmental sciences, and ecological modeling.
