Curriculum Vitae

Patrícia Alexandra Oliveira Pereira Kowalski

Patrícia Pereira got her PhD in Biology at University of Aveiro (UA) in 2009. Then, she had 7 years of postdoctoral research (Centre of Environmental and Marine Studies/UA, Minho University, IPMA) sponsored by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) over two grants. In the meantime, she performed research training abroad (Columbia University and Albert Einstein College, New York, USA) with renowned researchers in the neurotoxicology field. Since 2019, P. Pereira has been an Assistant Researcher at the Biology Department of UA, a position granted by FCT under an international call, where she coordinates the “Neurotoxicity, Neuroprotection and Behavior” research line (https://www.fisiotox.com). In the last 5 years, P. Pereira has been primarily focused on investigating the mechanisms of mercury (Hg) neurotoxicity, using fish as models and various innovative tools to address Hg toxicodynamics, fish neurophysiology, brain morphometry, and behavior. Notably, her work pioneered disclosing the vulnerability of the fish nervous system to Hg, specifically to inorganic Hg previously claimed as low toxic to aquatic species. These findings represent a new paradigm on the Hg toxicity in wildlife. In this scope, she coordinated a review article with international collaborators on Hg's neuronal/sensory toxicity in fish. Recently, the neurotoxicity of other relevant contaminants (e.g., pesticides) has been investigated in a robust animal model (the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans). In parallel, she has been investigating the neuroprotection afforded by marine macroalgae to fish against Hg toxicity. P. Pereira's research has been interdisciplinary and collaborative, involving several national and international R&D projects and research services. Between 2021 and 2023, she coordinated a research and outreach project (SCREEN&TOXIN) (around 125k euros). P. Pereira supervised 3 PhD theses, several MSc theses, research fellows, and national and foreign BSc students. Currently, she supervises 2 PhD students, an MSc student, and a technical researcher while mentoring BSc students. P. Pereira published 72 papers in international journals with referees, 3 book chapters, and 8 conference papers. She has been cited 2044 times, resulting in an h-index of 29 (Web of Science 18/11/2024). She has presented about 90 communications at national and international meetings. She reviews around 8 articles annually in prestigious journals, is on the Editorial Board of 2 SCI journals (Fishes; Toxicology Reports), participates regularly in academic juries, and often contributes to stakeholders' engagement activities and scientific outreach. Between 2019 and 2023, she was a member of the scientific committee of the Master in Ecotoxicology and Risk Analysis of the University of Aveiro. Currently, she teaches the laboratory class of Animal Physiology at the University of Aveiro in parallel with research activities. She is on the Editorial Board of the dissemination journal organized by the Department of Biology of UA.
