Ana I. Gonçalves is a FCT Individual Fellow (Junior researcher grant from the Stimulus of Scientific Employment, Individual Support (2020.01157.CEECIND), at the 3Bs Research Group, University of Minho. Ana holds a PhD in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells (University of Minho) in collaboration with Prof. Alicia El Haj (Keele University, UK). Ana has worked under 6 National financed projects (with fellowship) being actively involved at the start of a research line at her Institution (Tendon Tissue Engineering). Ana has presented her work in the most important conferences of the field such as TERMIS, EORS, and MagMeet, in which she had active participations such as co-chairing sessions, reviewing abstracts, and being involved in the organization of symposia. She is involved in writing proposals for competitive funding from National and International agencies (ERCEA, REA, LaCaixa). Ana is/was core team member in two FCT projects (MagTT and Wi-Pi) and EU projects such as ERC COG, ERC-PoC, H2020 Twinning project (consortium: UMinho Portugal, UHREG Germany, UCD Ireland, MAYO Clinic USA), and COST Action. Ana was Co-Chair of the 31st Annual Meeting of the European Orthopaedic Research Society (EORS 2023, Porto) and of the Achilles Conferences organized under the scope of the H2020 Twinning Project Achilles. Ana was member of the TERMIS-EU Communication and Outreach committee (2021 - 2023) and is Social Media Editor of several scientific meetings/societies. At the World Congress of Orthopaedic Research she has been awarded the ON/ICORS Orthoregeneration Award 2022 in recognition of her latest work on the activation of Activin A receptor in a rat tendon repair model (under revision). More recently, she was selected for the Cells Tissues Organs (CTO) Young Investigator Award 2024. Currently, she integrates the organizing committee of the 15th International Symposium on Frontiers in Biomedical Polymers, to be held in Porto in September 2025. Her contribution for these scientific societies and wide network of collaborators allowed her to be one of the main proposers of the COST Action TENET–“Tendon regeneration network”, of which she has been Science Communication Coordinator, Co-Leader of a working group, and is member of the Management Committee (PT). Ana Gonçalves has been involved in tutoring and mentoring of trainees, MSc and PhD students, and co-supervised a MSc student in Biomedical Engineering from University of Minho. She has reviewed publications from 10 different international peer review journals and served as reviewer for the Encyclopedia of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (Academic Press 2019). Ana Gonçalves edited 1 Book (Tendon Regeneration, Elsevier, in press) and 1 Special Issue in Biomaterials and Biosystems journal, and is currently author of 32 full papers in International referee journals, 10 as first author and 3 as corresponding author, with Q1 score; 10 book chapters, from which 5 as first author, 21 conference articles ISI Web of Science Indexed, 96 communications in international meetings either oral or poster, 4 Invited Talks and 1 Keynote Lecture. She has an h-index of 17 and over 737 citations according to Scopus.
