Dr. Ana Da Silva Filipe is a molecular virologist and Head of CVR Viral Genomics at the University of Glasgow's Centre for Virus Research. She has been with the university since 2008, accumulating extensive experience leading research in viral genomics and transcriptomics. Currently, she leads the CVR Genomics team, which provides expertise in high-throughput sequencing to contribute to the understanding of viruses and their impact on human health. Dr. Da Silva Filipe's research focuses on viral hepatitis and respiratory viruses, with particular emphasis on developing sequencing solutions for viral emergence and discovery. Her work bridges fundamental virology with clinical applications, applying genomic approaches to address critical questions in viral infections. Her research has significant public health implications, particularly in understanding viral evolution, transmission dynamics, and pathogenesis across diverse settings. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on viral genomics applied to emerging and re-emerging viral threats, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza viruses, hepatitis viruses, and various zoonotic pathogens. Her work often involves international collaborations across Africa, Europe, and South America, leveraging advanced sequencing technologies to understand viral evolution, transmission patterns, and host-pathogen interactions.
