Lilia Santos licenciou-se em Biologia, em 1981, pela Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra, e concluiu o Doutoramento em Ficologia, em 1990, pela Universidade de Leeds. É professora auxiliar na Universidade de Coimbra desde 1996 e atualmente é responsável pela Algoteca da Universidade de Coimbra (ACOI). Em 2010 recebeu o 1º prémio de "Melhor Proposta de Valor" pela Universidade de Coimbra. A sua área científica é a Ficologia (Algologia), Biodiversidade e Conservação de microalgas e Biotecnologia de microalgas. Autora e co-autora de vários artigos em revistas de circulação internacional com arbitragem científica, 7 capítulos de livros e várias comunicações em painel e orais. Coordenadora de projetos, nomeadamente da participação da UC nos projetos europeus COBRA e NoMorFilm que visaram a conservação de microalgas usando criotécnicas e a pesquisa de novas moléculas com antividade antibiofilme em microalgas para aplicação médica. Investigadora principal do projeto FCT que visou a informatização e disponibilização global de todo o espólio ACOI (http://acoi.ci.uc.pt/) e responsável pela integração da Algoteca no roteiro nacional de infrastruturas como nó do EMBRC.PT. Consultora para empresas e instituições académicas e orientadora de estágios, teses de pós-graduação e projetos de investigação na área das algas. Organizadora do 2º encontro Nacional de Ficologia e de cursos de pós-graduação e "workshops" sobre microalgas.
