Joana Barros (JB) obtained a degree in Genetics and Biotechnology (2009) and an MSc in Biotechnology for Health Sciences (2011), both at Univ. Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD). Part of the experimental MSc work was performed at Univ. La Rioja (UR), under an Erasmus grant. In 2019, JB concluded PhD (Cum Laude) in Biomedical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), in collaboration with the Institute for Biomedical Engineering (INEB)/Institute for Research and Innovation in Health (i3S), and Univ. Minho (UM). Besides, she has worked as an R&D scientist on several projects (10), involving national and foreign universities, institutes, and companies, contributing to increasing her scientific independence, management, leadership, and networking competencies. Additionally, she acted as the main external examiner in graduation degree juries (15), and as a reviewer for several scientific international journals (5). She served on the organizing, scientific, and chairing committees of several events, and in international/national Working Group (WG) and Management Committee (MC) meetings and science dissemination programs for schools. She published 23 (13 as the first author and 10 as the corresponding author) peer-reviewed papers in international journals (h-index = 16, 632 citations, Scopus), 3 peer-reviewed proceedings, 1 book chapter, and 31 peer-reviewed abstracts in the lecture library. She has been involved in the annotation and registration of 2 phage genomic sequences (GenBank, 2018) and the development of two commercial products. JB presented her work at several national and international conferences through oral (7) and poster (24) communications and invited lectures to post-graduation students (4). She has mentored and supervised 10 PhD (6 ongoing), 7 MSc, and 2 BSc students. As a result, her research has been highlighted by the media and she was distinguished with 8 awards. Currently, she is a Junior Researcher (CEECIND, 5th edition) at i3S, and her research has been focused on the development of multifunctional approaches, based on anti-infective biomaterials and drug-delivery systems, as biological and bioactive platforms, for efficient human infection treatment.
