Antibiotic resistance Microbial diversity Bioinformatics

Célia Patrícia Ferreira Domingues is conducting a Ph.D. in Biology by the University of Lisbon starting in 2020 within the Evolutionary Ecology of Microorganisms of cE3c. She is conducting the project 'Functional and phylogenetic dynamics of gut microbiomes under antibiotics exposure', under the supervision of Teresa Nogueira (INIAV and cE3c) and Francisco Dionísio (cE3c). Célia Ph.D. project aims to understand the dysbiosis caused by the administration of antibiotics and their recovery over time. This will help to understand the consequences of antibiotic prescribing protocols on gut microbiomes, to improve the use of antibiotics and to prevent infectious diseases.
