Ana Sofia Oliveira completed her MSc Degree on Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal, in 2013. After obtaining her MSc Degree, she worked as a community pharmacist until 2017, always maintaining her link with the academia. At 2017, she received a research fellowship from PROVERE/Centro2020/FEDER, to study the bioactive potential of thermal water resources in the central region of Portugal, at Health Sciences Research Center (CICS-UBI), Covilhã, Portugal. She is presently a PhD student at University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal, and received funding from Foundation for Science and Technology (SFRH/BD/136192/2018). In her PhD, she studies the anti-acne potential of Portuguese natural resources, such as aromatic and medicinal plants, to act as modulators key disease events or hallmarks. Her main research interests are in mucocutaneous infections and skin ailments. Additionally, she focuses on finding alternative treatments or adjuvants through the study of bioactive potential of extracts and preparations from aromatic and medicinal plants along with other natural resources. She was also involved in several research projects namely Checkimmune, funded by FCT; and InovEp funded by the Regional Coordination and Development Commission – Centro (CCDR-C) and worked as invited research assistant in the Aquae vitae (PD20-00003) project and in the PAM4Wellness project (reference POCI-01-0246-FEDER-181319), at University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal. She is now a research fellow from Aquae vitae (PD20-00003) funded by la Caixa Foundation/FCT.
