Sara Peixoto is a Junior Researcher at the University of Aveiro, since August of 2023 (financially supported by FCT through a contract under the Scientific Employment Stimulus Individual Call - ref. 2022.08041.CEECIND). Her academic pathway started with her graduation in Biotechnology (2013) at the Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo, and MSc degree in Microbiology (2015) at the University of Aveiro. In 2022, she finished her PhD degree in Biology and Ecology of Global Changes at the University of Aveiro, financially supported by a 4-year FCT grant. After their PhD, she was a fellow researcher in the R&D project ECOCENE: Efeitos ecológicos de (nano)agro-produtos em ecosistemas do solo at the University of Aveiro (Jan 2022 to Jul 2022), and a post-doc researcher at the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (Jan 2023 to Jul 2023) under the project DrosuGreen: Controlling the quarantine pest Drosophila suzukii through epidemiological studies and new green biocontrol techniques. Her main research line is microbial ecotoxicology with a special focus on the responses of soil microbiome to distinct agro-products exposure, such as conventional pesticides/fungicides, copper and silver based-nanomaterials, and nanoparticles, mycoinsecticides (entomopathogenic fungi - Metharizium spp. and Beauveria spp.), microbial based-plant biostimulants), under distinct exposure scenarios (in vitro studies, microcosm, mesocosm, and field experiments). Most of her microbiological research focused on the responses of microbial communities to agro-products using classical and molecular microbiology techniques: microbial composition, functioning, and susceptibility/tolerance. Currently, her scientific research interest is focused on the interactions between microbial-based-plant biostimulants and soil rhizosphere microbiomes, with particular emphasis on recovering the functionality of degraded areas affected by anthropogenic stresses (intensive agriculture and burned soils). She is (co)author of seven publications in international peer-reviewed journals (four as first author), and 31 communications to (inter)national conferences (eight as oral presentations). She participated in three international and two national research projects as a team member or collaborator. She participated in several outreach activities by disseminating scientific knowledge for (un)specialized audiences (e.g., school visits - summer academy at the University of Aveiro and presenting her research work in an MSc class in UTAD). She has received 5 awards: two best-poster presentations (one as the first author), two FEMS grants to attend (inter)national meetings, and one Medalhas de Honra L'Oréal Portugal para as Mulheres na Ciência - edition 19 . Currently, she is the supervisor of one master's student. In her curriculum, the most frequent terms in the context of scientific and technological output are: Terrestrial ecosystem, microbial ecotoxicology, metal-based nanoparticles; nanomaterials; nature-based products; microbiome, culture- (in)dependent methods.
