Interesses de investigação
Principal:
Ecotoxicology: Several years were devoted to the development of an active research programme in ecotoxicology, mostly terrestrial, in field and laboratory, addressing a series of both fundamental and pre-normative research questions. In the area of soil ecotoxicology research activities include the development of the avoidance behaviour test, genomic tools and use of multi-species tests; refinement of existing protocols and development of new bioassays to assess soil contamination. Additionally, has developed and implemented in E. albidus a behavioural test - avoidance test - having shown its high ecological relevance.
Specialization:
Ecotoxicogenomics: Extensive progresses have taken place since 2006, such as the development and the enrichment of a new microarray [1], developed for the first time for an Enchytraeid (E. albidus)[2], and is now an Agilent custom platform. At present E. crypticus was subject of a massive parallel sequencing (454-pyrosequencing) and a high gradient Nimblegen microarray is validated. [2] http://bioinformatics.ua.pt/enchybase/
Nanotoxicology: Collaborating with both national and international experts in the area. Developments in soil nanotoxicology, which are far less studied than in water media, present particular challenges. Investigation is progressing (3 publications 2011) and rapidly moving.
Other skills/activities:
Standardisation of new guidelines, and joining ring tests that precede it, such as the Bioacumulation in Oligochaetes, Collembolan Reproduction test (addition of a new test species) or the Evaluation of a biotest battery for the ecotoxicological characterisation of waste and waste eluates. Promoted and optimized the development of novel avoidance behaviour tests for Enchytraeids, having initially produced 3 papers that kicked research in this topic with other species.
[1] A microarray is a multichannel lab chip. It is a solid matrix (usually a glass slide or a thin silicone celular film) that tests high amounts of biological material in high-throughput. Also called a gene chip.

DESTAQUE
Investigadora da Universidade de Aveiro eleita vice-presidente da SETAC Europa em 2013. Mónica Amorim, investigadora no Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar (CESAM) e no Departamento de Biologia (DBio) da Universidade de Aveiro, foi eleita vice-presidente da Society of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (SETAC) para a Europa. Mónica Amorim tomará posse em Glasgow, durante o Congresso Anual da SETAC Europe, que decorre entre os dias 12 a 16 de maio de 2013.
A Investigadora do CESAM e DeBio, Mónica Amorim, contribuiu com um capítulo para o livro “Ecotoxicological Characterization of Waste” da editora Springer. Este livro apresenta a contextualização e organização, proposta de metodologias e divulga resultados e recomendações sobre a avaliação ecotoxicologica dos resíduos na UE, bem como a respectiva comparação com os dados disponíveis na literatura. Em 2001 é publicada a Lista de Resíduos Europeus (Decisão do Conselho 2000/532/CE de 23 de Julho 2001) que estabelece a classificação de “perigosos” ou “não perigosos” de acordo com as propriedades ecotoxicológicas dos resíduos. Ainda que este instrumento deva ser transposto para a legislação nacional de cada estado membro, não são fornecidas quaisquer metodologias ou recomendações para a avaliação da ecotoxicidade dos resíduos. Esta publicação resulta de uma série testes laboratoriais desenvolvidos por 67 laboratórios de 15 países diferentes, adaptando as directrizes ISO, para os compartimentos terrestre e aquático, incluindo a avaliação genotóxica. A Doutora Mónica Amorim foi responsável pelos estudos desenvolvidos na Universidade de Aveiro). Mais informações: http://www.springer.com/enviro.....

EU SOU BIÓLOGA
"Sinto-me fascinada pela natureza. As suas formas e cores intrigam-me e impelem-me a tentar compreender mais e mais acerca deste componente fundamental à vida humana. O estudo do impacto ambiental humano através dos genes é uma viagem à descoberta de um dos elementos-chave deste sistema, como um trilho iluminado que permite vislumbrar o início da história. É através do estudo do detalhe sobre o impacto no ambiente, que tento ajudar a proteger este mundo precioso." , 8 março 2019, lançamento do livro “Mulheres na Ciência”, Pavilhão do Conhecimento, Lisboa.

“A Ciência Viva presta homenagem às mulheres cientistas portuguesas, que representam 45 por cento do total de investigadores no nosso país e cujo trabalho notável tem sido fundamental para o progresso que a Ciência e a Tecnologia nacionais registaram nas últimas décadas”, refere Rosalia Vargas, presidente da Ciência Viva.

Diário de Aveiro, Mónica Amorim preside à SETAC-Europa (Edição de: Terça, Junho 10, 2014)
Mónica Amorim, investigadora no Departamento de Biologia (DBio) e no Centro de Estudos do Ambiente e do Mar (CESAM), da Universidade de Aveiro (UA), tomou posse, no passado dia 14 de Maio, como presidente da SETAC (Society of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology) para a Europa.
Esta investigadora é já a segunda cientista do DBio-UA a tomar posse como presidente desta sociedade, o que deixa claro o prestígio internacional do grupo de investigação em ecotoxicologia do DBio, coordenado por Amadeu Soares. Mónica Amorim é membro da SETAC desde 1998, e pertence à direcção europeia desde 2009.
