Ana Matos holds a degree in Biology, a master’s in Cellular and Molecular Biology, and a PhD in Biology from FCUP. Throughout her career, she has participated in various projects related to aquatic biology. These include studying predator-prey interactions and developing molecular markers for the rapid and effective detection of potentially toxic cyanobacteria in freshwater systems. Additionally, she has investigated the microbiome of ascidians and its bioactive potential using genomic, proteomic, and microbial approaches. She was part of the EdgeOmics project, which aimed to study the adaptation of freshwater bivalves to the effects of climate change, and she is currently involved in the MoRePorto project, focused on monitoring and restoring the wetlands in the city of Porto.
