RESEARCH INTERESTS
We are currently developing research activities in the Laboratory of Evolutionary Histophysiology at the Histology and Embriology Department, Biomedical Sciences Institute. The projects aim aspects of the inflamatory cells response in invertebrates and lower vertebrates, using comparative emphasis.
