Rita T. Torres is a Assistant Researcher (CEEC2021) at the Biology Department, University of Aveiro. Rita Torres graduated at the University of Coimbra, in Biology (2004), received an ERASMUS internship (University of Copenhagen, 2005) and did her MSc in the School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, U.K. (2006). In 2006, she started a joint PhD at the University of Aveiro and Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (Norway). Her PhD focused on unveiling the main factors affecting the distribution of the main ungulates in Portugal and Norway. In In 2012, Rita Torres started working as a post-doctoral research at the University of Aveiro, at CESAM & Department of Biology, using wild ungulates as model species to address broad evolutionary questions. Following this line, Rita Torres became interested in using wild ungulates as models to unravel key challenges in infectious disease, a global problem for public, animal and environment health. In 2015, she was awarded a PostDoc grant from to further develop this topic. Since 2017, Rita Torres attracted funding from competitive calls as a PI (FCT: PTDC/CVT-CVT/30310/2017, 227k¿; FFP: FFP/ICNF/2020/4030/01, 324 k¿) and co-PI (FCT: COA/BRB/0063/2019, 299k¿; ICNF: FFP/ICNF/2020/4030/02, 199 k¿), representing a research funding acquisition of 1 M¿. She is also a active collaborator several European projects (e.g. EUROMAMMALS, RTI2018-094202-B-C21 (ES), LIFE17 NAT/PT/000554, Cambridge Conservation Initiative). Rita Torres research is strongly committed to the transfer of knowledge to the industry, as denoted by the scientific coordination of 2 projects, ongoing since 2012 (~100.000¿/year), linking academia and private industrial companies. Rita Torres has published over 60 papers (h index=18). She also published 5 book chapters and has presented more than 100 communications in national/international meetings. Rita Torres has devoted substantial efforts to mentor the next generation of scientists by oriented/co-oriented more than 30 students (4 PhD, 10 MSc and over 20 undergraduates) and currently 1 researcher, 2 PhD (with FCT fellowships) and 3 MSc students. Rita Torres often disseminates the results of her research in several awareness-raising activities in schools and general public, including the participation in national TV/radio programs.
