Experiência

Isabel Silva is currently a research fellow at the Centre for Functional Ecology (CFE) at the University of Coimbra (UC), actively contributing to the One Health Research Group (ONE) and the MicroResist Lab.

As a microbiologist specializing in antimicrobial resistance, her research examines how anthropogenic contaminants contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistance in the environment, aiming to develop effective strategies to tackle this critical global challenge. She graduated with a degree in Biology in 2016 and an MSc in Microbiology in 2018, both from the University of Aveiro (UA), and completed her PhD in Biosciences at UC in October 2024. During her PhD, Isabel focused on the role of microplastic contamination in the evolution and spread of antimicrobial resistance in aquatic systems.
