Sofia Santos Costa is currently an Assistant Professor at the Unit of Medical Microbiology of IHMT-NOVA and member of PRIME (Pathogen Resistance, Infection and Molecular Epidemiology) research group of the Global Health and Tropical Medicine (GHTM) R&D center and of the Associated Laboratory “REAL - Associated Laboratory in Translation and Innovation Towards Global Health”. She is responsible for the Galleria mellonella Research Hub at GHTM/IHMT-NOVA. She obtained her PhD in Biomedical Sciences, specialization Microbiology in 2013. She holds a MSc degree in Medical Microbiology and Graduation in Applied Chemistry, specialization Biotechnology. She participates/has participated in several concluded R&D Projects as PI (DREBI - Exploring efflux inhibition to counteract antimicrobial resistance and biofilms in staphylococci, funded by FCT), Co-PI (BIOSAFE - Preventing antimicrobial resistance in the community - the safe use of biocides, funded by FEDER/FCT), or as team member. Currently, she supervises nine PhD students (three as main supervisor and six as co-supervisor) and seven MSc students (two as main supervisor and five as co-supervisor). So far, she has supervised ten MSc students and co-supervised two post-Doctoral researchers, two PhD students, eighteen MSc students, one BSc student and one Erasmus student. She is involved in several syllabus of MSc and PhD courses covering topics that overlap with her research areas. She was a member of the Scientific Council of IHMT-NOVA from 2020-2025. To date, she has authored/co-authored 48 international peer-reviewed publications (h-index of 21(.
