Since 1992 develops her research work in the Institute of Marine Research - IMAR, today integrated in the Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre - MARE, coordinating the MARE.Nova Pole and the research line Environmental Risk.

Ongoing studies include the development of molecular methods applied to the monitoring of benthic macrofauna communities in estuaries, studies in which the risk assessment of contaminated sedimentary environments includes the risk to human health and the investigation of the effects of different trophic stages of the sediment in the estuarine and marine trophic chains, developing methodologies that will allow monitoring with an ecosystemic approach, essential for a sustainable exploitation of resources.
