Ana R. Freitas is an Assistant Professor of Bacteriology and Microbiology at the University Institute of Health Sciences (IUCS-CESPU) and is an integrated Researcher at the Research Unit on Applied Molecular Biosciences (UCIBIO) within the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Porto (FFUP). She serves on the management board of the 1H-TOXRUN (One Health Toxicology Research Unit) and holds the role of Coordinator at its Office of Communication and Public Engagement. In addition to her academic roles, Ana R. Freitas has achieved noteworthy leadership positions in prominent scientific organizations. Currently, she serves as the Chair of the Food- and Water-borne Infections Study Group for the esteemed European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID), is a trusted scientific reviewer for ESCMID and sits on the Board of Direction of the Portuguese Society of Microbiology. Ana also contributes as an Editor for the Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (Elsevier). With a dedication to Health Sciences, Infectious Diseases and One Health, Ana has been actively engaged in Antimicrobial Resistance research for over 15 years. Her productive contributions are considered relevant works that improved the knowledge of the biology and epidemiology of opportunistic pathogens of relevance in Public Health as enterococci, which are reflected in the publication of 70 articles (44 in the last 5 years) in high-impact (most Q1), international, peer-reviewed indexed journals (H-index 26 Scopus), along with >100 GenBank sequences/genomes and 4 book chapters. Demonstrating a robust international network, she has collaborated with 161 co-authors across four continents. Ana R. Freitas is frequently called upon to act as a referee for high-impact journals covering various knowledge areas related to Infectious Diseases and Microbiology (https://www.webofscience.com/wos/author/record/1330514). Her expertise has been recognized by European agencies such as the European Commission, EFSA and other international research centers where she has served as an expert or reviewer. She has co-edited 9 special issues on Antimicrobial Resistance and played a pivotal role in organizing international scientific events. In her role as an educator and mentor, Ana has supervised and co-supervised national and international students at various academic levels, including Ph.D., MSc, Erasmus, and undergraduate levels. Her success in attracting funding for research projects is evident in her participation in several proposals at both national and international levels, including as a Principal Investigator (PI). She has presented over 130 communications (oral and posters) at prestigious national and international congresses. She is a sought-after lecturer and speaker, having delivered several oral presentations and interviews in media. Her academic/scientific achievements include 2 FCT fellowships (BD and BPD), one CEEC-FCT researcher contract, 9 awards/distinctions, and 13 congress grants. Ana holds the HiTech 2019 program organized by the Porto Business School in collaboration with North Carolina State University and is doing an Artificial Intelligence for Teachers course. She is an active member of relevant Microbiology societies/groups such as ECCMID, ESGEM, EFWISG, ESGMD, ESGFOR, and SPM. Serving as the scientific ambassador of the BacTdrugs-UCIBIO research group, Ana is responsible for scientific communication within social networks of different groups/societies (SPM, BacT_drugs, EFWISG, TOXRUN). Ana R. Freitas co-coordinated the implementation of the citizen MicroMundo@UPorto project in Portugal in 2018/2019, involving university and school students. In 2022-2024, she coordinated the MicroMundo@IUCS_CESPU, showcasing her commitment to community engagement and education.
