Ana Ribeiro has a graduation in Materials Engineering from the University of Minho, an MSc in Processing and Materials Characterization obtained at the same university and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering obtained from the University of Porto. She has broad international postdoctoral and teaching experience in the field of nanotoxicology, bioengineering, and biomaterials (Instituto Nacional de Metrologia Qualidade e Tecnologia, Brazil; University of Illinois Chicago, US; Universidade do Grande Rio, Brazil; Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore, India). In 2018 she joined the Nanosafety group at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory as a staff researcher working on organ-on-chip, nanotoxicology and cell communication. Her research focuses on developing bioengineered organ-on-chip platforms (e.g., skin) for the nanomaterials risk assessment. In summary, her experience in research ranges from biomaterials, surface modification and degradation to biomimetics, advanced cell culture models for nanotoxicology, and diagnostic biomarkers for bone diseases. During her academic path, she has developed novel technologies combining advanced tissue engineering approaches with nanotoxicology. Her innovative findings have been well accepted within the scientific community, with translatable societal, clinical, and industrial impact, resulting in numerous highly relevant top-tier publications and excellence awards. She has > 80 contributions to conferences (> 20 invited), 41 peer-reviewed publications (h-index=20 GoS), and three book chapters.
