Biography

Joana Robalo | PhD in Biology and Master in Ethology. Associate Professor at ISPA-IU (Lisbon, Portugal) and member of the MARE research unit. Director of the Biology Degree of ISPA, teaches several courses in the Biology and Psychology Degrees and also in the Marine Biology and Conservation Master. Began her research career studying the behavior and genetics of freshwater fish in Portugal, but has expanded her work to molecular genetics/genomics and biogeography of other aquatic organisms.
