Bio
CRISTINA SILVA PEREIRA. I am an Associate Professor at ITQB NOVA, where since 2008 I am a group leader. My team currently encompasses 18 researchers, including PhD and master students and postdoctoral scientists, who are addressing a major scientific question: How fungi perceive and interact with their environment? My group has solid expertise in analysing proteins, metabolites and gene expression in fungi, thus it is distinctive because it can tackle studies requiring chemical expertise which is often lacking in fundamental biology research.
I have published >65 papers in international peer-reviewed journals (+ 8 peer-reviewed book chapters). I have completed the supervision of 10 doctorates across different disciplines from Biochemistry and Biology to Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (+7MSc). Since 2011, I am also a lecturer in several national doctoral and master programs and in international Biotech training programs. I am now the co-coordinator of a post-graduation course entitled StartUp Research program that links competencies in Life-sciences with Management, aiming to create Entrepreneurs in Science (jointly awarded by ITQB NOVA and NOVA SBE). I have led projects with accumulated funding of over 2M euros. This included 2 international consortia, the NATO-SFP grant and a European Economic Area grant (EEA) of 1.5M euros, and 3 national I&D projects (FCT). I was awarded the national Professor António Xavier memorial prize for young scientists (2007).
In 2015, I was AWARDED A CONSOLIDATOR GRANT by the EUROPEAN RESEARCH COUNCIL (ERC, 647928, MIMESIS, active). The funding of almost 2 M euros will allow me to develop the vision of mimicking the functionality of plant polyesters to develop novel and efficient antifungal therapies. I was also a partner in a FET-OPEN project. I have a number of long-standing national and international collaborations, as well as a visiting academic post at the University of the West of Scotland. I have been invited to present more than 25 talks in conferences/universities, nearly half as plenary/key lectures, and to be in the executive committee of the Congress on Ionic Liquids 2013 and in the 6th EU Conf. Chem. in Life Sci. I have been for four years an Elected Member of the ITQB Scientific Council (2009-2013), currently a member of the executive board of the Research Unit Most Micro ITQB (2020). Since 2010, I am participating as an expert in both national and international scientific review panels for projects and grants (HORIZON 2020, FCT; Homing Plus Program, etc.). I was the Chairman of the 3rd Symposium on Plant Apoplastic Barriers (2017), the national delegate in a COST Action on ionic liquids (20013-2017). Since 2013, I am a Member of the Society of Applied Microbiology, and since 2020 of the American Chemical Society and of the Society of European Federation of Biotechnology (invited).
