Elisabete Silva (ES) graduated in Biology, in 1999 from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto, and obtained her PhD in Biomedicine, in 2011, from the Faculty of Medicine of University of Porto. Her PhD thesis aimed to study the expression and regulation of Na,K-ATPase in aged renal cells. In 2011, she joined the Ageing & Stress group from Institute for Molecular and Cell Biology (IBMC) - University of Porto to proceed as postdoctoral researcher where she studied the role of age-dependent alterations in redox-balance on female fertility. Currently, she is a Researcher in the Ageing & Stress group, at i3S (Porto, Portugal) and an Assistant Professor at COFAC (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Lusófona University and IPLuso). ES is also an Adjunct Professor at Health School, Porto Polytechnic Institute. Her research interests are reproductive ageing, oxidative stress, senescence and infertility. Between September 2020 and September 2023 ES was an invited Assistant Physiology Professor at ICBAS/UP. Elisabete Silva has an H index of 14 and a total of 862 citations, according to the system of international reference Scopus. Her scientific career in the field of Physiology and Pharmacology is illustrated by the publication of 32 articles in indexed journals with an impact factor, 15 of which as first or last author, 4 reviews and 2 book chapters; for presenting her work in national and international congresses of reference in her research area; through the participation in 14 research projects, being principal investigator in a funded project and already completed; for the supervision / co-supervision of 8 undergraduate, 7 master and 2 PhD students, in the area of Physiology and Pharmacology - female reproductive system; for the participation in several academic juries; through the peer review of articles submitter to indexed journals with an impact factor; and for the distinction with several prizes.
