GROUP NAME / RESEARCH INTEREST IN FEW WORDS:

Plataforma INCQS/Fiocruz Zebrafish

SHORT SUMMARY OF RESEARCH INTEREST (MAX. 200 WORDS):

Initially we are interested in implementing the toxicity test because we received a high internal and external demand from our institute for the performance of toxicity in vivo. In the future we would like to expand our knowledge to other areas and more advanced essays using zebrafish as an animal model.

We work for the Brazilian Ministry of Health, we work for public health in health surveillance area conducting regulatory assessments and also conducting research in various areas.
