Curriculum Vitae

Carla Alexandra Novais de Oliveira e Silva

Carla Novais is an Assistant Professor in the area of Microbiology at Faculty of Pharmacy, Porto University (FFUP, Portugal) and is a researcher in the Research Unit on Applied Molecular Biosciences (UCIBIO). She was graduated in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2000 and obtained her PhD degree in Microbiology in 2005 at FFUP. She works in the field of Health Sciences, Infectious Diseases and Food Safety for >20 years. Currently she develops research on molecular epidemiology of antibiotic resistance, metals and disinfectants tolerance in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria from human, animal, environment and food interface within One Health context. Her specific interests and studies have been directed to understand: a) the role of diverse ecological niches as reservoirs and spreaders of bacteria, genes and/or genetic elements with human clinical interest; b) the main factors selecting particular clonal lineages and genetic elements associated with horizontal transmission of antibiotic resistance, metals and disinfectants tolerance; c) the impact of environmental stresses on the eco-evolution of genetic platforms (e.g. plasmids, transposons and ICE) carrying genes with clinical interest or associated with bacterial success in particular environments (antibiotic resistance, biocide tolerance, virulence). She published 83 papers in international peer-reviewed indexed journals of high impact (most in quartil 1; 33 as main author; 20 as corresponding; Index H is 33; ~3862 citations; Google scholar-Carla Novais ), 6 book/book chapters, 98 GenBank sequences, technical publications, among others. She has sound international networking as demonstrated by her numerous collaborative papers with 139 different co-authors from 16 countries of European, American and African continents. She actively participated in an international consortium generating ground-breaking science (>2000 enterococci genomes were sequenced) just published in Nature Communications. She has more than 200 communications (oral and posters) and was invited as keynote speaker for 13 lectures. She has been integrated in diverse national and international projects (e.g.ACE, ERA-IB funding) as Principal Researcher or Researcher. She participated in 1 international and 6 national projects with food industry stakeholders involved. Co-editor of three special issues on antibiotic resistance and biocide tolerance and a reviewer for several national and international journals (e.g. AEM, JAC, Environm Pollution) in the field of microbiology within One Health context, antibiotic resistance and biocide tolerance. She was/is adviser/co-advisor of 5 PhD thesis, 2 Post-Doc, 7 Master thesis, >30 Graduation thesis, Student projects, ERASMUS and studies of other nature, involving students from Portugal Spain, UK and Brazil. She organized 11 national scientific events, is/was a member of "Grupo de Trabalho sobre Ocorrência Microbiológica na Cadeia Alimentar (GTOMCA)", Grupo de Trabalho sobre Toxinfecções Alimentares (GTTA), ESCMID Food- and Water-borne Infections Study Group (EFWISG), and Portuguese Quality Institute (FFUP representant). She is the supervisor of the drinking water quality analysis integrated in of FFUP community services. She was one of the founders of the experimental service-learning pedagogical MicroMundo@UPorto (involving university and school students) in Portugal through the University of Porto, concerning soil microbiota diversity and antimicrobial resistance.
