Ana M. Gil obtained her PhD in Chemistry at the University of East Anglia, UK, in 1992. She is currently Associate Professor with “Habilitation” at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, and a member of CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials. Her main research interests are centered in NMR metabolomics, applied to biological systems (biofluids, intact tissue, tissue/material systems, 2D/3D cell cultures) subjected to disease (cancer, prenatal diseases, rare metabolic diseases, degenerative diseases), therapeutics, toxicological, environmental stresses, or differentiation cues (stem cell metabolism), for identification of novel biomarkers with possible clinical use. Other interests relate to environmental and food research areas, namely the use of metabolomics in nutritional studies (biofluids and gut microflora) to assess the effect of new diets, and in the development of new food products or food quality control processes. In terms of mentoring, her track record is (Mar2022): 10 Postdocs finished and 1 ongoing; 12 PhD theses finished (8 as supervisor, 4 as co-supervisor) and 8 ongoing; 22 Master theses finished and 3 ongoing; Other researchers: 13 completed and 1 ongoing. She has published (Mar2022) ca. 150 SCI papers, 26 book chapters, ca. 30 other papers, and presented ca. 270 conference communications (98 talks, including 42 invited talks; 170 posters). Her metrics are (Mar2022): h-index=46, 5950 citations (source: Scopus).
