My research focuses on understanding the impact on the physiological status, including specifically the influence on the metabolic status and biological process of both anthropic factors (microplastics, heavy metals presence and fishing effort) and the climate changes. The biological process, including growth, growth condition, metabolism, and even survival in both individual and population level developments; furthermore, I am also interested in the effects of environmental stress on animal behavior to filler some of the gap related at the stressor effect on body size and fitness of the marine species and its relationship to ecology.
my personal skill regarded study of main metabolites ( amino acid , lipids and protein profile) and enzymatic activities;

The project, which I would like to participate should be regarded the study of physiology chancing on marine animals due to at anthropogenic stressor and their ecological impact on habit environment. The main physiological chancing manage by epigenetic mechanism may be studied to provide more information on eventually environmental adaptation. I also deal with metabolites studies and Chromatography techniques.
