Lara Zacari Fanali

I have a bachelor degree in Biological Sciences, a Master and Ph.D. degrees in Animal Biology. I work with Ecotoxicology since 2013, focused on understanding the harmful effects of environmental contaminants in fish and amphibians. My research involves field and laboratory studies. I have been involved in morphological, phisiological and behavioral studies. I am currently enrolled as Postdoctoral researcher in the RiskMix project "Risk modelling of mixtures of endocrine disrupting chemicals relevant to human exposure, using zebrafish (Danio rerio)" funded by FORMAS.

- Master (2014-2016) in Animal Biology by São Paulo State University (UNESP): Effects of benzo[a]pyrene on blood and liver of Physalaemus cuvieri and Leptodactylus fuscus (Anura: Leptodactylidae).

- PhD (2016-2020) in Animal Biology by São Paulo State University (UNESP): Morphofunctional alterations in hepatic melanomacrophages of Physalaemus cuvieri (Anura: Leptodactylidae) induced by benzo[a]pyrene contaminant.

- Visiting research (sep 2018-mar 2019) at University of Gothenburg: Effects of benzo[a]pyrene on the cytoskeleton and melanin dispersion of fish and amphibian liver melanomacrophages.

- Researcher (2020-2021) at Prevet-Sanidade Aquícola

- Postdoctoral researcher (2022-2023) at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU)
