Author Information

Guilherme Malafaia is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the Goiano Federal Institute – Urutaí Campus (Goiás, Brazil), where he also coordinates the Laboratory of Toxicology Applied to the Environment. With a strong academic background—including a Ph.D. in Agrarian Sciences and eight postdoctoral fellowships in Environmental Sciences—and more than 350 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Malafaia is a leading expert in aquatic ecotoxicology, specializing in the environmental impact of legacy pollutants and emerging contaminants.His research focuses on the ecotoxicity of nanomaterials, micro- and nanoplastics, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products in aquatic ecosystems. His work integrates diverse biological models, from plants to animals, to assess environmental risks and pollutant behavior. Dr. Malafaia actively mentors graduate students in Ecotoxicology, Ecology, and Environmental Sciences and contributes to the scientific community through editorial roles and memberships in ECOTOX-BRAZIL, SETAC-Latin America, and the Brazilian Academy of Young Scientists.
