Flávia Yoshie Yamamoto holds a bachelor?s degree in Biological Sciences at the Universidade Federal do Paraná (2009). Master's and PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology at the Universidade Federal do Paraná (2012;2016). Conducted her research at the Laboratory of Cellular Toxicology (UFPR, 2006-2016) and at the University of California, Riverside for a PhD sandwich program (9 months, 2015). She was a temporary professor of ecotoxicology, biochemistry and cell biology at the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (2016-2018). Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Biosciences of the Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP, Campus Litoral Paulista) for a period of 2 years (2018-2020). Her interest is to understand the impacts of chemicals introduced into aquatic environments, especially those from human activities sources, and their effects in the biota and human populations. Her postdoctoral research is related to the assessment of the toxicity of the pollutants present in the Doce River after the collapse of Fundão tailings dam (MG, Brazil), through different biomarkers in fish. Has experience in the field of Ecotoxicology, with emphasis in Cellular and Molecular Biology, working mainly in the following subjects: pollutants, biomonitoring, aquatic ecossystems, fish, biomarkers, biochemical, morphological and molecular analysis and immunoassays.
