Luís Félix received a Ph.D. in Biological and Chemical Sciences from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro in 2016 with the thesis titled "Towards an understanding of ketamine teratogenicity in zebrafish early development". He has one degree in Chemistry (since 2007) and in Biochemistry (since 2009) from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro and his training also includes a master's in Laboratory Analysis since 2009 from the same University. His research interests include most areas of pharmacology/toxicology, with particular emphasis on understanding the role of oxidative stress and cellular death mechanisms on in-vivo developmental-toxicant interactions and the associated health risks. Since 2018, he has been recently awarded a junior research contract in the 2021 Individual Scientific Employment Stimulus Competition (CEEC) by the Portuguese National Funding Agency for Science, Research and Technology (FCT) to work at the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD). He is developing research related to the cellular stress responses induced by anesthetics in both adult and larval stages of the laboratory zebrafish. During his research career, he has published more than 60 articles in specialized journals and book chapters, being a reviewer of several journals. He has more than 70 contributions to scientific meetings and scientific dissemination seminars/workshops in Portugal and abroad.
