Marta Filipa Serra da Silva

Marta Filipa Serra da Silva is an active researcher at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FMV), specializing in veterinary microbiology and reproductive health. Her work focuses on bovine reproductive diseases, particularly Bovine Genital Campylobacteriosis and endometritis in dairy cattle.

Research Focus:
Her primary investigations include:

• Molecular pathogenesis of Campylobacter fetus infections
• Development of novel diagnostic methods (e.g., HRM-PCR)
• MicroRNA biomarkers for subclinical endometritis
• Transcriptomic analysis of endometrial cells
• Computational vaccine design using reverse vaccinology

Publication Trends:
Recent articles (2021-2024) demonstrate progression from pathogen characterization (genomic studies) to applied solutions (diagnostic tools, vaccine candidates), with consistent focus on improving bovine reproductive health through molecular approaches.

Collaborations:
International research partnerships are evident through multi-author publications involving institutions across Europe.
