Verónica Gomes (VG) has a degree in Biology from University of Porto (2006) and a PhD on Forensic Sciences and Pathology from University of Santiago de Compostela (2011). Her research has been focused on the comprehension of the past history and evolution of different human population groups, particularly from Africa and South America, through the analysis of autosomal, mitochondrial and sex-chromosome associated markers. Nowadays, she is interested in understanding the genetics underlying the last Human Modern colonization, exploring maternal and paternal lineages in native and admixed South American populations. Moreover, she is also interested in applying her population genetics expertise in the identification and modeling of the impact of germline and somatic genetic alterations in disease, particularly cancer. Currently, VG is a Junior Research at IPATIMUP/i3S and, since 2015, is an Invited Professor of Forensic Genetics Master Program by Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto. During her career, VG published 41 research papers in international journals (5 of which as first author and 1 as senior author; 1 editorial as first author; 2 reviews; and 6 peer-reviewed proceedings) with 909 citations by 725 documents and with an h-index of 18. Till nowadays, she (co-)supervised 12 MSc students.
