Curriculum Vitae
Ana Batista
Ana Batista is an assistant researcher at the Center for Innovative Biomedicine and Biotechnology (CIBB), Faculty of Medicine,
University of Coimbra with extensive experience in the exciting and growing field of biophotonics. She completed her MSc in
Biomedical Engineering in 2010 at the University of Coimbra, Portugal and her PhD in Systems Engineering in 2019 at the Department
of Biophotonics and Laser technology, University of Saarland, Germany. Her major research interests focus on the application
of biophotonic techniques for medical and biological purposes, leveraging laser technology to advance cell and tissue imaging.
Ana has consistently worked on the development and implementation of non-invasive and label-free imaging modalities to advance
medical diagnosis. Recently, Ana has expanded her scope to broader biomedical applications, namely, lipid nanoparticle delivery
of therapeutic agents in oncology immunotherapy. Throughout her career, Ana has contributed to several research projects,
culminating in 21 journal papers, 9 of which as first author and 1 as last author. Evidence of her active engagement with
the scientific community is also her contribution to 2 book chapters, over 30 conference proceedings, and over 70 participations
in internationally renowned conferences. Ana has also contributed to knowledge dissemination through mentoring of several
young researchers, co-organization of several international meetings, and serving as a peer reviewer for several esteemed
international journals.
