Sandra Correia is a Researcher at the Centre for Functional Ecology (CFE, University of Coimbra) and Director of the Department of Protection of Specific Cultures in InnovPlantProtect CoLAB. Her scientific career has been focused on Plant Biotechnology and the study of plant development using in vitro-induced morphogenic processes, both in fundamental and applied research projects, and she has extensive experience in plant physiology and cell and molecular biology. With a Degree in Biology (in 2004) and an MSc in Plant Biotechnology (2007), from the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra (FCTUC), she obtained her PhD in Biology - Plant Physiology (2011) working with somatic embryogenesis (SE) induction as a tool to study the molecular basis of embryogenic competence acquisition in plant cells. After completing her PhD, she worked as a principal researcher at a private Biotechnology company (Klón) and as an FCT post-doctoral research fellow (FCT grant 2013/2018) at CFE-UC in collaboration with Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (Oeiras, Portugal). In 2017 she received a Fulbright Award for Portuguese Lecturers and Researchers and worked at the University of Maryland (MD, USA) and at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (NY, USA). More recently, in 2021, she was awarded the Seed Projects Award at the University of Coimbra, for her multidisciplinary research in Plant Bioreactors. Sandra Correia published in peer-reviewed journals (42) and book chapters (6) and presented her results in several national and international meetings. She is guest associate editor for Frontiers in Plant Science topics on "The Plant Bioreactor", "Somatic Embryogenesis: 60 Years of Research Applied to Plant Cloning to Unravel Plant Totipotency" (Volumes I and II), and "Zygotic and Non-Zygotic Embryogenesis: Evolutionary, Developmental and Practical Aspects". Simultaneously to her research activity, she was an Assistant Invited Professor at the Department of Life Sciences at the University of Coimbra. She supervised more than 20 MSc dissertations and undergraduate students. She supervised 2 concluded Ph.D. theses, and currently supervises or co-supervises 8 FCT-funded Ph.D. projects and participated as Co-Principal investigator in 2 project(s) and Researcher in 10 project(s) with emphasis on Biological Sciences, Molecular Biology, Agrarian Sciences, and Agrarian and Food Biotechnology. Member of the scientific and organizing committees of several national and international meetings, including the International Horticultural Congress 2022 (Angers, France) and the III International Meeting of the Portuguese Society of Genetics - IMPSG 2022 (Évora, Portugal). In her professional activities, she interacted with 238 collaborators(s) in networks and co-authorship of scientific papers. She is an active member of several international networks, being Chair of the International Society for Horticultural Science Working Group In Vitro Culture, and Management Committee Member and Working Group Leader in the COST Action CA21157 Copytree.
