Susana Vinga
Técnico, U. Lisboa, INESC-ID
Susana Vinga received a Mechanical Engineering degree (1999), a post-graduate degree in Probability and Statistics at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST-UTL), Biomedical specialization at Politecnico of Milan, and a PhD degree in Biology/Bioinformatics (2005) at ITQB-UNL (Portugal). From 2006-2013, she was a researcher in the Knowledge Discovery and Bioinformatics group at INESC-ID and invited assistant professor of Biostatistics and Informatics at the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FCM-UNL). Between 2013-2018 she was a Principal Investigator (Investigador FCT) at IDMEC, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa (Portugal), under this highly competitive program. Since 2018 she is an Associate Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, in a joint position between the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering (DEI) and the Dept. of Bioengineering (DBE) and a Researcher at INESC-ID working in the field of Computational and Systems Biology. She has been (co-)supervising 6 post-doc, 10 PhD (eight defended), and more than 60 MSc Theses, several internships, and grant holders. She has published in high-impact journals, achieving an ISI h-index=23 (Google h-index=28), with over 100 publications. She has successfully coordinated as Principal Investigator three national FCT projects (DynaMo, HIVCONTROL, PERSEIDS), and participated in several national and European projects (FP7, H2020) as a team member and work package leader in the areas of Biotechnology (BacHBerry, SOUND). Since January 2021, she is the PI of the European H2020 Twinning project OLISSIPO – Fostering Computational Biology Research and Innovation in Lisbon, which aims to strengthen INESC-ID/IST research profile in Computational Biology. Her main achievements are in the development of methods for Genomics, where she coined the area of alignment-free biological sequence analysis and comparison in a review. She has continuously published in this area by proposing new metrics and entropy measures for DNA and proteins and was the Editor of a special issue of Briefings in Bioinformatics (2014) on this theme. In Systems Biology, she is currently working on model identification of biological systems, developing parameter estimation methods for ordinary differential equations, both for biochemical and gene regulatory networks, and intra-host HIV infection. She is also designing control strategies for these systems, with application in the optimization of personalized pharmacological therapies in translational research. Since 2021, she is a member of the INESC-ID Board of Directors, Vice-President of DEI, and Senator of Univ. Lisboa. She was granted in 2010 the Young Researcher Award of the UTL in the area of Informatics for the impact of her publications.
