Sofia Gonçalves Seabra (BA13-DAD2-4698)

Curriculum Vitae

Sofia G. Seabra completed a PhD in Biology (Evolutionary Biology) from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon (FCUL) in 2007. Since April 2020 she has an institutional CEEC contract (https://doi.org/10.54499/CEECINST/00102/2018/CP1567/CT0040) as Assistant Researcher at the Global Public Health Teaching and Research Unit of Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine at NOVA University of Lisbon (IHMT-NOVA). Her research on genomics and bioinformatics at IHMT-NOVA integrates the field of public health. She was Principal Investigator in the internally GHTM funded project 'WasteWaterVir - Integrating metavirome analysis of wastewaters into tools for surveillance of infectious diseases', and is a team member in the ongoing We'Search program (FCG/La Caixa) funded project "Airway colonization and microbiome in relation to asthma and atopy in children from Cabo Verde- RESPIRA-CV", in the ongoing FCT project "Minimizing the emergence and dissemination of HIV-1 drug resistance in PALOPs through an evidence-based portable high-throughput sequencing and computational approach" and on the European Project "EuCARE: European Cohorts of Patients and Schools to Advance Response to Epidemics". Previously she was a postdoctoral researcher at FCUL where her research focused on understanding evolutionary patterns and processes in studies of phylogenetics, phylogeography, population structure, detection of selection, introgression and genotype/phenotype association in several insect species. These studies involved the analyses of high throughput genomics data and the application of several bioinformatics tools, including de novo genome assemblies, resequencing, and genome-wide association studies. She has 35 publications, 9 of which in the last 5 years. She participated in 10 scientific projects, including 2 as Principal Investigator, 1 as Co-Principal Investigator, and 4 as responsible for project tasks. She supervised several post-graduate students and participated in evaluation committees in PhD and Master theses. She teaches Biostatistics in the IHMT Doctoral Programs 'Biomedical Sciences' and 'International Health' and Molecular Epidemiology in the NOVA Masters 'Computational Biology and Bioinformatics'. She was a member of organizing and scientific committees of several scientific meetings and carried out scientific reviewing for scientific journals. Outreach activities included participation in the European Researchers Night events and Ciência Viva program.
