Catarina Ginja holds a PhD degree in Animal Breeding and Genetics from the University of Lisbon (2009) and worked as a Research Assistant at the University of California-Davis (2008-2010). She returned to Portugal as Marie Curie fellow and launched an innovative Archaeogenetics research (CE3C-Lisbon 2010). Ginja is experienced in state-of-the-art technologies and was trained in renowned Palaeogenomics groups, e.g. Stockholm University. She earned contract grants in the competitive IF2014 (2015) and 3rd-CEECIND-2020 (2021) programs funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). She led the Archaeogenetics research group at BIOPOLIS/CIBIO/InBIO and was an invited Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto (2017-2023). Ginja obtained an Assistant Professor position at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Lisbon and leads the Animal Genetic Resources Group (since September 2023). Since 2017, she authored over 25 papers and book chapters in international peer review publications (4 as 1st author and 8 as last coordinating author), with an h-index of 29 and over 2250 citations. She is the 1st author of a book chapter on goat conservation published by Springer in 2018, and also of an international hallmark paper - the most comprehensive genetic study of worldwide cattle using mitochondrial, Y-chromosome and STR markers published in Scientific Reports in 2019. Ginja was the scientific coordinator of the Art&Science book Esses Ossos. In the last 5 years, she presented over 15 posters and 20 oral communications in international scientific meetings, 14 invited communications, and organized 4 international meetings in Portugal and 4 workshops in conferences abroad. Ginja is the supervisor of 2 PhD students, and during this period has supervised 2 MSc students and 4 post-doc researchers at BIOPOLIS-CIBIO-InBIO. The specialized opinion given to The Guardian (14 OCT 2018) shows well the international recognition. She is a member of the European Cattle Genetic Diversity Consortium, since 2010, invited chairperson and cattle representative of the FAO/ISAG Committee on Animal Genetic Diversity, since 2014. She is an affiliate of the International Society for Animal Genetics and International Council for Archaeozoology. She is a reviewer for Animal Genetics, PlosONE, Conservation Genetics, Heredity, etc., and review editor for Animal Genetics, Frontiers in Genetics, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, and Frontiers in Veterinary Science . Ginja attracted competitive funds nationally and internationally. She led the ARCHAIC project to carry out an Archaeogenetics study of Iberian cattle (2016-2019 FCT 197,696 euros) and was co-PI of the WOOF project (2018-2022 FCT 239,458 euros). She was invited to participate in 5 international projects, including the ERC-funded ZooMWest (2017-2022 1,199,319 euros) and the ArcticArk (2014-2018 Academy of Finland 509,042 euros) to investigate human-animal interactions. She was the Portuguese team leader of the LEAP-AGRI OPTIBOV project (2018-2022 H2020 ERA-net 1,031,574 euros). Ginja has strong leadership ability and expects to continue developing projects around creative and innovative ideas that can benefit the national and international scientific communities.
