Daniela Pinto
External CollaboratorI received my Ph.D. in Biology (Microbiology) from the University of Lisbon in 2013. I have held Post-Doctoral positions at the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich (Germany) and the Technical University of Dresden (Germany), partially funded by a Marie-Curie IEF fellowship (2014-2019), and at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lisbon (Portugal, 2020-2022).
Currently, I am working as a researcher in the "Pathogen Biology & Global Health" group of CE3C, under the project "OCELOT: Empirical-Mechanistic Approaches to the Modeling of Antimicrobial Resistance under the One Health Paradigm". Previously, I contributed to the "COLOSSUS: Control Of tubercuLOsiS at the wildlife/livestock interface uSing innovative natUre-based Solutions" project and the "SS-SARS2-WP: support to the Member States to establish national systems, local collection points, and digital infrastructure for monitoring Covid-19 and its variants in wastewater, Portugal".
In addition to microbiology and molecular biology, my expertise encompasses comparative genomics, data science, and visualization.
My research is driven by three overarching objectives: understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which bacteria cope with environmental stress, engineering bacterial systems to create biological devices with novel and useful functions (Synthetic Biology), and leveraging large genomic datasets to advance infection control strategies.
