Curriculum Vitae

Sofia Gonçalves Seabra

Sofia G. Seabra completed a PhD in Biology (Evolutionary Biology) from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon (FCUL) in 2007. Since April 2020 she is Assistant Researcher at the Global Public Health Teaching and Research Unit of Institute of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine at NOVA University of Lisbon (IHMT-NOVA), initially with an institutional CEEC contract (https://doi.org/10.54499/CEECINST/00102/2018/CP1567/CT0040) and since september 2025 with a FCT-Tenure contract. Her research on genomics and bioinformatics at IHMT-NOVA integrates the field of public health. She was Principal Investigator in the internally GHTM funded project ‘WasteWaterVir – Integrating metavirome analysis of wastewaters into tools for surveillance of infectious diseases’. She is a team member in the ongoing Horizon Europe Framework Programme project “DxHub - Connecting Greek and Portuguese Innovation Ecosystems to Develop a Hub for Infectious Diseases Diagnostic Solutions at the Point-of Care – Tackling Cross-border Threats” (HORIZON-WIDERA-2023-ACCESS-07, proposal 101186531) and in the ongoing Envolve Ciência PALOP (Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation) project “Wastewater-based metagenomics surveillance of infectious agents and antimicrobial resistance using an integrated One Health approach in Southern and Central Mozambique”. She participates and supervises bioinformatic analysis of microbiome data in the ongoing We’Search program (FCG/La Caixa) funded project “Airway colonization and microbiome in relation to asthma and atopy in children from Cabo Verde- RESPIRA-CV”. She received an ERASMUS+ STT – Staff Mobility for Training grant to visit the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Vrje Univeristeit Brussel, Belgium, to learn about individual-based models and machine learning algorithms and establish collaboration in this area, already ongoing through a PhD student supervision. She teaches Biostatistics in the IHMT Doctoral Programs 'Biomedical Sciences' and ‘International Health’, and Molecular Epidemiology in the NOVA Masters ‘Computational Biology and Bioinformatics’. She organizes and teaches short courses related to bioinformatics: “Crash course: Using the command line” and “Python Applied to the Biomedical Sciences”. She is a member of the IHMT-NOVA Council since December 2022, a member of the Scientific Committee of the Doctoral Program on International Health since 2022 and of the Scientific Committee of the biobank Biotropical Resources (BIOTROP) of GHTM-IHMT-NOVA since 2024.
