Eberhard Karls Univer­sität Tübin­gen, Inter­fac­ulty Insti­tute of Micro­bi­ol­ogy and Infec­tion Medicine

Ana Rita Brochado has been serving as an assis­tant profes­sor at the Inter­fac­ulty Insti­tute of Micro­bi­ol­ogy and Infec­tion Medicine Tübin­gen and within the Cluster of Excel­lence "Control­ling Microbes to Fight Infec­tions" since 2023.

Ana is a systems biolo­gist with a strong inter­est in under­stand­ing how patho­genic bacte­ria react to antibi­otics and their combi­na­tions. Her research focuses on eluci­dat­ing the molec­u­lar mecha­nisms under­ly­ing drug combi­na­tions, using unique systems biology approaches based on high-through­put pheno­typ­ing technolo­gies, joint with compu­ta­tional biology tools for data interpretation.

Soon after she started her group she was awarded a Emmy Noether fellow­ship by the German Research Founda­tion (DFG). Ana Rita Brochado is further­more a junior member of the Research Center for Infec­tious Diseases Univer­sity of Würzburg. In 2021 she also received the Röntgen Prize of the Univer­sitäts­bund and the Univer­sity of Würzburg.
