I am a researcher specializing in biochemical cell physiology, focusing on the molecular mechanisms that govern cellular responses to environmental stressors such as ultraviolet radiation, thermal stress, changes in ionic strength, and heavy metal pollution. I study cellular processes such as oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and the allocation of energy between proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids in response to these stressors.
A key aspect of my work involves studying cellular respiration, both aerobic and anaerobic, and analyzing the activity of enzymes in the electron transport chain. I also conduct comparative studies of fatty acid profiles to explore metabolic adaptations across different organisms.
Additionally, my research integrates an ecological dimension, where I investigate how these biochemical responses contribute to stress tolerance at the organismal and ecosystem levels. By exploring stress response pathways such as heat shock proteins and antioxidant defenses, my work aims to uncover the molecular basis of stress resilience in environmental contexts.

My research focuses on understanding the biochemical and physiological mechanisms that determine organismal tolerance and sensitivity to environmental stressors, including UV radiation (types A and B), changes in ionic strength, thermal stress, temperature fluctuations, and heavy metal pollution. I explore cellular responses such as oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and energy allocation across proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. A key component of my work includes studying cellular respiration, with a focus on both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, and examining the activity of enzymes in the electron transport chain. Additionally, I conduct comparative studies on fatty acid profiles across different organisms to identify metabolic adaptations to stress. By investigating stress response pathways such as heat shock proteins, antioxidant defenses, and detoxification mechanisms, my research aims to uncover the molecular basis of stress resilience, with applications in ecology and environmental science.
