Sara Rodrigues (SR) has a Ph.D. in Biology (FCUP; 2018) with solid experience in physiology, biochemistry, and ecology of different aquatic organisms and complementary expertise in risk assessment and ecotoxicology of several xenobiotics, and in the integrated assessment of water quality and ecological potential of reservoirs, using several biological responses (multispecies and multimarkers approach). In 2019, SR earned an investigator position (REDEFINE – ref: POCI-01-0145-FEDER-029368) at CIIMAR-UP, which ended in October 2021. Since November of 2021, SR is a researcher of CIIMAR/FCUP (2020.00464.CEECIND – CEEC Individual/3rd edition). SR has had the opportunity to consolidate her career in scientific research focused on aquatic ecology and the ecotoxicity of different xenobiotics (pesticides, detergents, and pharmaceuticals), and the environmental safety of non-target organisms. Over the years of a short, yet prestigious career, SR has been specializing in individual (reproduction, behavior of organisms), and sub-individual responses, (multimarker approaches: biochemical, physiological, cellular, and tissue/organ ecotoxicological tools). SR has been actively involved in communication and outreach activities (for different target audiences), participating in the organization of international and national scientific events, and giving laboratory assistance to different academic degrees. Of the 30 published papers in peer-reviewed journals, 18 were published in the last 5 years, 10 as of 1st author, and 8 as co-author.
