Overview

Deborah M. Power is affiliated with the University of Algarve in Portugal. Their research activity focuses predominantly on biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and environmental science. Within these broader fields, their work explores several specialized subfields, including immunology, molecular biology, aquatic science, ecology, and global and planetary change.

Their research encompasses a range of topics related to aquatic environments and species, with particular emphasis on aquaculture disease management and microbiota, aquaculture nutrition and growth, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, physiological and biochemical adaptations, microplastics and plastic pollution, reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species, and identification and quantification in food.

Recent publications by Deborah M. Power include:

  • Deciphering mollusc shell production: the roles of genetic mechanisms through to ecology, aquaculture and biomimetics, 2020, Biological reviews/Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society
  • Digital transformation of peatland eco-innovations ('Paludiculture'): Enabling a paradigm shift towards the real-time sustainable production of 'green-friendly' products and services, 2022, The Science of The Total Environment
  • Fish lysozyme gene family evolution and divergent function in early development, 2020, Developmental & Comparative Immunology
  • Priorities for ocean microbiome research, 2022, Nature Microbiology
  • Dilution of Seawater Affects the Ca2 + Transport in the Outer Mantle Epithelium of Crassostrea gigas, 2020, Frontiers in Physiology

Deborah maintains frequent collaborations with researchers including Adelino V. M. Canário, João C. R. Cardoso, Rute C. Félix, Liliana Anjos, and Patrícia I.S. Pinto. These collaborations have resulted in numerous co-authored works that contribute to various aspects of aquatic and environmental sciences.

Their research has been published extensively in venues such as The Science of The Total Environment, Scientific Reports, General and Comparative Endocrinology, SSRN Electronic Journal, and Frontiers in Immunology. These journals reflect the interdisciplinary and applied nature of their work across environmental and biological sciences.
