Joana Amaro Ribeiro has completed the graduation's degree in Biology in 2017 at 'Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa', and the master's degree in Conservation Biology in 2019 at 'Universidade de Évora' and in Agronomy in 2022 at 'Escola Superior Agrária do Instituto Politécnico de Beja'. Joana A. Ribeiro is attending the PhD in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at 'University of Évora', founded by an FCT grant. Additionally, Joana A. Ribeiro took complementary education in First Aid, Self-Protection Measures and Ergonomics; Planning, Environment and Urbanism in the context of Climate Change; and is certificated in Advanced English, by Cambridge Assessment, showing multidisciplinary skills. Joana A. Ribeiro's core interests include the areas of natural sciences, conservation biology and agrarian sciences, with emphasis on plant protection and plant pathology, and has been focusing on the study of Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus to develop resistant-tomato plants using CRISPR for disease prevention and control. Joana A. Ribeiro is a researcher in the Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development (MED). She has participated in several scientific projects, and the most recent one is Almond Protect, funded by Fundação La Caixa. During her career, Joana A. Ribeiro has published 5 articles in indexed international scientific journals, 2 conference papers with oral presentation, 5 conference abstracts and 24 conference posters, and 2 book chapters, collaborating with a lot of researchers.
