Marine ecologist researching the impacts of environmental, biological and anthropogenic stressors on animal (mostly fish) physiology.
Particular emphasis put on the reproductive physiology, the hormonal cascade of stress and the immune response in fishes.
Skilled in transcriptomics, molecular and biochemical techniques applied to in vivo (Dicentrarchus labrax, Sparus aurata, Seriola dumerili, Diplodus sargus, Mullus barbatus, Merluccius merluccius) and in vitro (cell cultures, both continuous and primary) designs.
Local PI of EU H2020 "ALPHEUS" project and coordinator of "PISCES" and "NANOPISCES" projects of the P.O. FEAMP calls.
European Food Safety Authority EU-FORA alumnus of the 5th cohort, work programme “The use of NAM and omics data in risk assessment” at the Bundesinstitut fur Risikobewertung (BfR), Berlin (Germany)
PA3 - Climate-neutral, environmentally sustainable and resource-efficient blue food and feed
PA4 - Green transition of Blue Food production
I would be interested in joining a project (either aquaculture- or an ecotoxicology-focused ) seeking to evaluate the effects/impacts of innovative actions on fish physiology.
