Clarisse Brígido is, currently, a researcher in Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development (MED) at the University of Évora (Evora, Portugal) and a collaborator at Department of Biology and Department of Chemistry from University of Évora, as Invited Assistant Professor. C. Brígido is graduated in Biotechnological engineering at Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (Bragança, Portugal), in 2003, and completed her PhD in Biology at University of Évora awarded with honors (cum laude) in 2012. C Brígido was awarded with a PhD Studentship in 2006 by Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) to conduct her Ph.D. work focused on the study of the molecular bases of chickpea mesorhizobia tolerance to acid and salt stress. Afterwards, she was awarded with a 6-years post-doctoral fellowship by FCT in 2014, to study the plant growth promoting mechanisms employed by beneficial microbes, with the aim to develop new effective strategies in protecting plants grown under abiotic stresses. In 2020, she was awarded by FCT with a contract for Auxiliary Researcher (CEECIND/00093/2018) in the frame of the Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus. C Brígido was a visiting researcher at University of Salamanca, Spain (as Ph.D. student) and University of Waterloo, Canada (as post-doc), totaling 8 months. During her career, C. Brígido participated, as fellow or researcher, in 13 scientific projects (1 as Principal Investigator (PI)) from national and international funding within competitive calls, and in other 6 scientific exploratory projects (1 as PI) from internal institutional funds (UE-MED/ICAAM). C. Brígido is author/co-author of 26 peer-reviewed papers and 7 book chapters (1 in press) with international circulation within different scientific areas, namely agrarian sciences, microbial ecology, applied microbiology and biotechnology and 1 edited Abstract Book. Supervised 1 PhD student (ongoing) and an external Ph.D. student (3 months internship), 3 MSc and 16 BSc theses (3 ongoing), 2 post-doctoral and 3 Master fellowships. C. Brígido participated in national and international meetings accounting for 43 oral and 34 poster communications, 1 Proceedings paper. She participated in the Organization of Scientific Meetings (2) and Training Actions (3) and in other outreach activities (5). C Brígido acted as jury member of national and international academic degrees (4 PhD, 5 MSc, 11 BSc) and on evaluation of R&D projects grants (South Africa, Israel) and PhD projects. She has high activity as reviewer and editor of Special Issues and Research Topics for several international peer-reviewed journals. C Brígido was also involved in scientific and mentoring activities for the development of national and European patents (2 patents in evaluation). C. Brígido is a multidisciplinary researcher, with high experience in biotechnology, microbiology and molecular biology techniques, next generation sequencing, confocal microscopy and plant growth trials, allowing to study plant-microbe interactions in depth. H-index = 20 (GScholar), 17 (Scopus) 16 (WOS).
