Curriculum Vitae

ANA CRISTINA PIMENTA VERÍSSIMO

ANA CRISTINA PIMENTA VERÍSSIMO. Completed her PhD degree in Marine Sciences in 2012 by Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary. She is interested in the biology, ecology and evolution of a highly threatened vertebrate group, the Cartilaginous fishes (sharks, rays and chimaeras). She has dedicated most of her research work in uncovering the patterns and possible drivers of population structure in widespread and highly mobile shark taxa and have also focused on clarifying the species diversity and evolutionary histories of several shark genera with problematic taxonomy, using molecular genetic markers and tools. Recently, she has focused on Chondrichthyan immunogenetics, as adaptive immunity genes can serve as alternative (non-neutral) markers to study the population structure of her target taxa. Most of her research work has focused on commercially exploited shark species aiming at directly contributing to the delineation of adequate management and conservation plans. In addition to this, she is currently applying eDNA metabarcoding to the monitoring and assessment of elasmobranch diversity in different parts of the eastern Atlantic aiming at informing conservationists and managers. She published 47 articles in journals, co-supervised 4 PhD thesis(es), supervised 7 MSc dissertation(s) e co-supervised 2. She has received 11 awards and/or honors, and participated as Principal investigator in 2 project(s) and Researcher in 9 project(s).
