Ana Coutinho (AC) is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Universidade de Lisboa (FCUL) and a researcher at iBB - Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa. She graduated in Biochemistry (“Licenciatura” – pre-Bologna B.Sc. degree) (1988) and received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry (2000) both from Faculty of Sciences, Universidade de Lisboa. In 2003/2004, she was a post-doctoral fellow at Instituto de Química-Física "Rocasolano" (Madrid, Spain) under the supervision of Dr. M. Pillar Lillo. Her research interests have been focused on Molecular Biophysics, with a strong emphasis on Membrane Biophysics and Lipid-Protein Interactions. The main research topics include studying the conformational dynamics of membrane proteins using homo- and hetero-FRET measurements and investigating the role of lipid membranes on the self-assembly mechanisms of amyloidogenic peptides/proteins from several pathological disorders. AC is an expert in obtaining topological (structural) and dynamic information from several biological systems through the application of quantitative advanced fluorescence techniques (time-resolved fluorescence intensity and anisotropy measurements, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and fluorescence anisotropy imaging microscopy (FAIM)). AC published 52 scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals and 3 book chapters (h-index of 22, + 1380 citations/1196 documents (Scopus, January 2024)). AC has supervised 4 Ph.D. thesis, 3 Post-docs, 7 M.Sc. dissertations and 2 Graduation “Licenciatura” dissertations. AC was the coordinator of the 1st Cycle (BSc degree) in Biochemistry at FCUL (2018 -2023).
