Biography and Research Interest
Dr. Marta d'Amora is a biologist with over 13 years of experience using zebrafish as a vertebrate model in toxicology and neuroscience research. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology and a Ph.D. in Neurochemistry and Neurobiology. Her research focuses on the developmental use of zebrafish to assess the effects, transport, and biodistribution of various nanomaterials and drugs for biomedical and industrial applications.
Since 2024, she has been working on electrophysiological recordings in zebrafish embryos and larvae for epilepsy research as part of the TRANSCENDE (TRANslational Study of Central Noradrenergic System Degeneration in Infantile Epilepsy) project. She has published more than 40 papers on peer-review impacted journals, with an H-index of 22 and she has been involved in several other research projects, including ZEBRAFISH (Project 144/16; Fondazione Pisana), RECODE (European Union’s Horizon 2020 – Grant Agreement 768583), and I-GENE projects (European Union’s Horizon 2020 – Grant Agreement 862714).
