Andrea Monroy-Licht Dr. In Environmental Toxicology, M.Sc. in Environmental Management. Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. My research interests have focused on Environmental Biotechnology, especially in Bioremediation, exploring the potential uses of biosolids generated in wastewater treatment, as well as in the biological treatment of environmental pollutants. I am currently working on phytoremediation of heavy metals, especially mercury and metalloids such as Arsenic and its species (Arsenite, Arsenate and Monothioarsenate) using the Eichhornia crassipes and Arabidopsis thaliana plant. Being a point of deepening the mechanisms of responses of the plants against the stress generated by different pollutants present in the ecosystems. At the same time, I am interested in Science learning topics. I focus on improving critical thinking skills in undergraduate students of the Universidad del Norte (Barranquilla-Colombia).Current profession
