She works specifically in the application of bioassays to the characterization of dredged material and to the environmental monitoring of oil-spills. She has developed part of her research in an environmental consulting, adapting bioassay protocols for industry use. After working as a consultant in the Program of Integrated Coastal Zone Management of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC / UNESCO), she currently develops her research in the University of A Coruña.
