Susana Maria Traquete Serrazina. Concluded the PhD in Molecular Biology in 2004 at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon. Works in Plant Biology - Plant Protection at Biosystems and Integrative Sciences Institute, Plant Functional Genomics Group, Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, as a Researcher and Lecturer. Participates/participated as a researcher in 5 projects and as a Post-doctoral fellow in 2 projects. Published 9 research papers in international journals with peer review, 2 of them in a high-impact journal of Plant Biology [New Phytologist, Impact factor (2018): 7.299]. Has 1 book chapter. Supervised and co-supervised 3 MSc thesis. Has international collaborations with: a) Dr. Elena Corredoira of Misión Biológica de Galicia-Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Spain, in gene functional analysis in chestnut; b) Dr. William Powell of the Department of Environmental Science and Forestry, State University of New York, Syracuse, USA, in gene functional analysis in chestnut. Has national collaborations with: a) Dr. Rita Costa of Instituto Nacional de Investigação Agrária e Veterinária, Estação Florestal Nacional, Oeiras, in chestnut genetic improvement; b) Dr. Paula Duque of Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Oeiras, in gene functional analysis in the model plant Arabidopsis. At Ciência Vitae curriculum the most frequent used terms are: Castanea spp.; Phytophthora cinnamomi, Arabidopsis, Biotic and abiotic stress, Gene functional analysis and Plant signaling.

Plant defense to pathogens and abiotic stressors. Plant adaptation to climate change.

The actual core of investigation is gene functional analysis and transcriptomics related with biotic/abiotic stress and sexual reproduction. My aim is to extend to proteomics and metabolomics to an integrative and broader perspective of metabolism comprehension.
