Inês Domingues is an assistant researcher at CESAM & Department of Biology at University of Aveiro. She has a first degree in Biology (University of Porto, 2000) and a PhD in Ecology (University of Aveiro, 2007). She has been working in aquatic ecotoxicology for the last 15 years in the assessment of effects and modes of action of several types of contaminants (e.g. pharmaceuticals and pesticides) to several aquatic model species including zebrafish. She is also especially interested in the measurement of behavioral parameters as sensitive and relevant endpoints to assess effects of neurotoxic compounds. She is responsible for the management of the zebrafish facilities at the department of Biology.
