Joana Rodrigues is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in the mechanisms of genotoxicity and proteotoxicity induced by metalloids such as arsenic and antimony. Her research contributions include examining the differential roles of the proteasome, autophagy, and chaperones in the clearance of arsenite-induced protein aggregates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rodrigues has collaborated on various publications that explore the toxic effects of metals like arsenite and cadmium on α-synuclein aggregation in vitro. She has presented her work at prominent conferences, including the Gordon Research Conference on Stress Proteins and the International Conference on Yeast Genetics and Molecular Biology. Her research is focused on understanding the cellular responses to metal toxicity and the underlying molecular mechanisms involved.
