Ana Machado has more than 15 years’ experience in the field of Environmental Microbial Ecology that started as an undergraduate student in Aquatic Sciences. She is a graduate in Aquatic Environment Sciences (2007), obtained a MSc degree in Marine Biology and Ecology, both by the University of Porto, Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar. She is in the final step of a Biomedical Sciences PhD on Waterborne diseases in tropical environments. Her main research interests focus on environmental microbiology with relevance for bacteria dynamics and microbial antibiotic resistance transmission, and its association with infectious diseases and public health. Along the years, she was involved in several research projects on the microbial dynamics and ecology, antibiotic resistance and linking microbial communities and function with special relevance to vibrio bacteria from environmental, human and animal origin, in tropical and temperate environments. Currently participates as Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) in the Aqua_Smart project, concerning the SMART in-situ sampling and real-time monitoring of toxic metals in AQUAtic systems. Previously, she was the PI in the BeachSafe project regarding microbial emergent pollutants in bathing waters, including vibrios. She is the author of 40 scientific papers published in international journals, and over 50 oral and poster communications in scientific meetings. Has 1 section(s) of books. Co-supervised 3 MSc dissertation(s). Co-supervised 4 work(s) of course completion of LSc/BSc. Has received 10 awards and/or honors. Currently, she is also an Invited Assistant Professor at ICBAS-UP (Microbial Ecology, General Ecology, General Agriculture and Ecology, Introduction to Tropical Health and Biological Oceanography). To date she has received 10 awards and / or honors.
