Ana Batista de Carvalho completed her PhD in Biosciences 2017 by University of Coimbra her Master in Biochemistry in 2010 by University of Coimbra with her Master Thesis being developed at Universita degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza Dipartimento di Scienze Biochimiche Alessandro Rossi Fanelli. Presently she is a Junior Researcher at Unidade de I&D Química-Física Molecular of the University of Coimbra. She has published 28 articles in journals with peer review with a total of 195 citations and H-index of 9 (search done by author Batista de Carvalho, A.L.M.). Supervised or co-supervised several MSc and BSc students. She is presently co-supervisor of 1 PhD student. She participated in 3 projects and is presently a member of the funded R&D Project VIBSonCANCER/Centro-01-0145-FEDER-029956. She is an Associated member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), belongs to the Clinical Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy for Medical Diagnosis (CLIRSPEC) as well as to the Portuguese Society of Biochemistry (SPB). She has expertise in applying vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR (either benchtop or Syncrothron radiation), Raman and with neutrons) to the study of biological samples such as human cells and tissues. Currently, her research is centred on the identification, using vibrational spectroscopy, of early liver rejection biomarkers in liver biopsies. She is also enrolled in the design of Pt/Pd-based anticancer agents.
