Thesis: Electrochemical Analysis of Neurotransmitters in Zebrafish
Embryos: In Vivo Sensing and Nanotoxicity Screening
Research: Develop modified microsensors and advance experimental procedures to evaluate the toxicological effect against living organisms associated to nanoparticles exposure and measuring relevant neurotransmitters.
- Design implantable electrochemical carbon fiber microsensors for detection of nitric oxide and dopamine with improved spatial and
temporal resolution in single organs of live zebrafish (Dario rerio) embryos
- Toxicological evaluation of zebrafish embryos exposure to nanoparticles and chemical additives used in industrial chemical mechanical
planarization (CMP) processes and in consumer products
