Ana Gonçalves Domingos is a coordinator investigator at the Medical Parasitology Unit, at the Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, NOVA University of Lisboa (IHMT/UNL). She has a PhD in Biology by University of Lisbon (1997) and obtained the Habilitation degree in Biomedical Sciences – Parasitology, at UNL (2011). She was invited professor at the University of Lurio, Mozambique (2014-2017). Ana Domingos teaches in the Medical Parasitology and Biomedical Sciences Master courses being the coordinator of two curricular Units, at IHMT/UNL, and in other Master Courses in countries such as Mozambique and Angola. In parallel, she is also participating or participated in several in PhD Courses namely Biomedical Sciences, Genetic of Human Diseases, Tropical Knowledge and Management at UNL and GABBA-PhD Course at the University of Oporto. She takes part, as organizer and teacher, in short courses held in Portuguese speaking countries as Mozambique and Cape Verde. Last 5 years, Ana Domingos supervised several Post-Doc Fellows, PhD students, and MSc students and many grant holders. Her research interest is focused in improving knowledge on parasite and vectors interaction. Research activities rely on a system biology approach, under funded projects, using methodologies such as proteomics, transcriptomics and functional genomics and immunoinformatic. Such methodologies allowed the identification of vaccine candidates and drug targets in both parasites and vectors of diseases having a great human health and animal production impact such as malaria, babesiosis and theileriosis. Her team recently achieved and analyzed the transcriptome and proteome of different arthropods and tested newly identified antigens on vaccination trials. Last 10 years she developed 12 funded projects (6, as Principal investigator) and published 30 peer-reviewed scientific papers. Currently she belongs to the editorial board of four journals such as the “Scientific Journals” and “Frontiers” and was recently the national representant of two Cyted networkings being from the scientific committee of the Cyted InCoCarr. She is also participating in two COST Actions. She is member of the Scientific Commission of the “In Vivo Arthropod Security Facility (VIASEF)”, IHMT/UNL, since 2021. She is takes part of the International Scientific Committee of the congress on “Tick and Tick-borne Pathogens – TTP11” that will be held in August, 2024 Since 2022, she member of the General Council of the University Nova of Lisbon.
