Biography
Ivone Vaz-Moreira is an auxiliary researcher at CBQF and invited assistant professor (Bioinformatics, Molecular Microbiology, and Biochemistry).
She graduated in Biochemistry at the University of Coimbra (Faculty of Sciences and Technology) in 2005 and completed her Ph.D. in Biotechnology with specialization in Microbiology at Biotechnology College from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in 2012.
Her research is focused in Environmental Microbiology, associated with aquatic habitats and their intersections with soil/sediments, plants, animals, and finally humans; including the study of the bacterial diversity with particular emphasis on the urban water cycle and the potential of antibiotic resistance dissemination from aquatic environments. In 2014, she was considered one of the ten bacterial taxonomists in Portugal.
