Afonso Celso Dias Bainy

Aquatic Contamination Biomarkers and
Immunochemistry Laboratory (LABCAI)

Prof. Bainy holds an undergraduate degree in Oceanography from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG), a master’s degree in Biochemistry from the Universidade Federal de Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), and a doctoral degree in Biochemistry from the Universidade de São Paulo (USP). He carried out postdoctoral research at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the United States.

“His research is focused on the study of biochemical and molecular environmental biomarkers of aquatic contamination and oxidative stress, toxicogenomics and molecular toxicology in aquatic organisms”
