Curriculum Vitae

Inês de Almeida Ferreira

Inês Ferreira graduated in Marine Biology and Biotechnology by the Polytechnic of Leiria in 2015 and holds a Master degree in Aquaculture granted by the same institute in 2018. Has developed work as a research fellow in Cetemares (Marine Sciences R&D, Education, and Knowledge Dissemination Centre) in fish immunologic status and research fieldwork. Currently, is a PhD student at CIIMAR funded by FCT (SFRH/BD/147750/2019) in collaboration with IBMC/i3S. Her work is related to the infection mechanisms of Tenacibaculum maritimum, a devastating bacterial disease in aquaculture.
