Mariana Isabel Pinto Ferreira (Ferreira, M.) achieved her Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry in 2016 from the University of Porto, Faculty of Sciences (FCUP). In 2018, she earned her Master's degree in Microbiology from the University of Lisbon, Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). Currently, she is working towards her PhD in Animal Science at the University of Porto, Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar (ICBAS), a journey she embarked on in 2019. Her research in the field of Animal Science is conducted at CIIMAR (Matosinhos, Portugal) and Nord University, Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture (Bodø, Norway). Her primary focus is on examining the effects of diets containing micro- and macroalgae on the gut microbiota, intestinal histomorphology, and immune responses (both local and systemic) in European seabass. Throughout her academic career, Mariana has utilized various techniques and methodologies, including genomic tools, histological techniques, molecular analysis, biochemical assays, classical microbiology, and cell culturing techniques. In addition, she has also developed some knowledge in microbiota data analysis and flow cytometry. Her contributions to the scientific community include 6 articles as the first author and 2 as a co-author, all of which have been published in specialized and peer-reviewed journals. Furthermore, she has actively participated in 7 national and international projects, either as an MSc fellow (ANIMAL4aqua) or as a non-remunerated researcher (MARINALGAE4aqua, SEAFOODTOMORROW, ATLANTIDA, OMEGAPEIXE, AquaCell, and BASSinCELLS).
