Bio
Catarina Ginja graduated in Zootechnical Engineering from the University of Tras-os-Montes e Alto Douro-UTAD (Portugal) in 2000. She obtained an MSc degree in Animal Science (UTAD 2002), completed a PhD degree in Animal Breeding and Genetics from the Technical Univ. of Lisbon-UTL and the Univ. of California in Davis in 2009, and was invited to work as a Research Assistant at UCDavis (2008-2010). During her PhD research she described a number of novel SNP-microsatellite haplotypes in the cattle Y-chromosome to investigate male-mediated gene flow, she gathered the most comprehensive dataset of Y-chromosomal variation in cattle and which resulted in an international hallmark paper on the paternal variation of European breeds and published in a highly cited multidisciplinary scientific journal.
In October 2010, C Ginja was awarded a Marie Curie grant to work at the Centre for Environmental Biology (CE3C Univ. of Lisbon), and launched an innovative archaeogenetics investigation as an independent researcher. She is experienced in state-of-the-art technologies (e.g. next-gen sequencing & SNPs genotyping) and has expanded her expertise by being trained in ancient DNA analysis in renowned research groups (Uppsala and Stockholm Univ. and Palgene France). In 2015, she was awarded a 5-year research assistant contract grant within the competitive IF Programme funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. She is now the PI of the Archaeogenetics research group at CIBIO-InBIO, at the University of Porto.
Since 2010, she published over 40 papers in international peer review journals (7 as 1st author, 4 as 2nd, and 6 as last author) with an h-index of 18 and 880 citations. She also co-authored a book about the history, production system and economic value of Portuguese native cattle and which is a photography album of 170 pages edited by Bizancio (2013).
C Ginja presented oral communications in over 25 international meetings (6 as an invited speaker), poster presentations in other 20 scientific meetings, and organized the 6th ICAZ-AGM meeting at CE3C (March 2014) and the meeting "From the Mediterranean to the Atlantic: themes in European zooarchaeology" (June 2017) to celebrate 30 years since the publication of "The Archaeology of Animals" by S. Davis.
C. Ginja is the supervisor of one MSc student and two post-doc researchers at CIBIO-InBIO. She has supervised one research scholar (CE3C 2014), undergraduate students (UCDavis 2009), co-supervised 3 MSc students (2 UTL 2006; 1 CIBIO-UTAD 2016), 1 PhD student (UCDavis 2009), and 1 post-doc (CIBIO 2016-2018). She is an invited assistant professor at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, to teach in the Forensics MSc program, she has collaborated in 2 MSc programs on Evolution and Genetics at CE3C, Lisbon, and she is coordinating the Archaeogenetics course within the BioDiv Doctoral program (CIBIO 2019).
She is a reviewer for international journals, including Animal Genetics, PlosONE, Conservation Genetics, Heredity and the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research. Within the BioBovis Consortium, C Ginja collaborates on a molecular survey of Iberoamerican livestock species, which already resulted in major publications, including a book chapter published by Springer (2017). She carried out the most comprehensive analysis of conservation priorities in worldwide cattle, and which is published in the highest impact factor journal in the field of Animal Science. In 2010, she joined the European Cattle Genetic Diversity Consortium.
She coordinated the ARCHAIC project (June 2016-March 2019) to carry out an Archaeogenetics study of Iberian and North African cattle (197,696€). In 2013, she was invited to participate in 2 international projects: one for the genetic analysis of cattle breeds using commercial SNPs (Univ. of Perugia-Italy 396,000€); and the other to investigate Human-animal adaptations to the Arctic environment (Univ. of Finland 509,042€). C Ginja participates in one FCT funded project (2012-15) to investigate horse domestication in Iberia (CBA 101,160€). She collaborates with national Breeder Associations to define conservation measures. Importantly, C Ginja was invited as chairperson and cattle representative of the FAO/ISAG Committee on Animal Genetic Diversity (2014). She is a member of professional organizations: International Society for Animal Genetics, International Council for Archaeozoology, Sociedade Portuguesa de Recursos Genéticos Animais, and Associação. Portuguesa de Engenheiros Zoootécnicos.
C Ginja has strong leadership ability, is meticulous in her experiments, is well-versed in the theoretical analysis of genetic datasets and most adequately skilled in the writing of scientific papers. She expects to use her knowledge and teaching ability to train younger scientists and gather international teams around creative and innovative projects that can benefit the national and international scientific communities.
