Susana Ferreira is, since December 2018, an Assistant Researcher at CICS-UBI and since September 2022 is an Invited Assistant Professor at Faculty of Sciences of University of Beira Interior (Covilhã, Portugal). From 2010 to 2014, she conducted her PhD studies on the distribution and molecular and cellular pathogenicity mechanisms of Arcobacter species (PhD grant from FCT, SFRH/BD/66857/2009). From 2015 to 2018, she pursued her Post-Doctoral studies in the field of the distribution and antibiotic resistance of Arcobacter (Pos-Doc grant from FCT, SFRH/BPD/101959/2014). Her team is leading Arcobacter research in Portugal, with a special emphasis on understanding A. butzleri's distribution, pathogenesis and resistance mechanisms. The collaboration with national and international institutions have supported the development of her research. She is also interested in the antimicrobial activity evaluation of natural and synthetic compounds and their mechanisms of action of bacteria and yeasts. During her scientific career she have (co)supervised to completion 22 BSc projects, 33 MSc dissertations, one PhD thesis, nine research grants and accompanied four international students. At the moment she supervises, 6 MSc and three PhD students. She is involved in several syllabus of BSc, MSc and PhD courses covering topics that overlap with her research areas. As of January 2024 ,she has authored/co-authored 61 papers in international peer reviewed (ISI) journals, one book chapter, while being the first/last or corresponding author in more than 70 % of the publications, with more than 2180 citations and a h-index of 27 in Scopus. Of her published works in the last 10 years, 71.4% belong in the top 25% most cited documents worldwide (Scopus). In addition to publications, she has more than 125 conference presentations and was member of Scientific and Organizing Committees, including Chair, and Awards Committee in national and international conferences, being also regularly involved in various outreach activities, engaging in events such as the International Microorganism Day, AJSTEAM, or Science and Technology Week. Furthermore, she has been member or principal investigator of various funded projects. She is a member of the EURESTOP Cost action (European Network for diagnosis and treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections). She has been an Associate Editor at Frontiers in Nutrition and serves as a Review Editor on the editorial boards of multiple scientific journals. Furthermore, she has contributed to the editing of seven special issues and regularly serves as a reviewer for papers in various international journals. She was a vice-coordinator of CICS-UBI responsible for Laboratory Managment and since 2022 vice-coordinator of the Natural Products and Microbial Research group at CICS-UBI and a Member of its Executive Board.
