Célia Rodrigues Bettencourt - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Célia Rodrigues Bettencourt is a researcher affiliated with the National Reference Laboratory for Neisseria meningitidis, Department of Infectious Diseases, at the National Institute of Health in Lisbon, Portugal. Her work primarily focuses on infectious diseases, with a significant emphasis on molecular epidemiology and genomic surveillance of pathogens such as Neisseria meningitidis and Haemophilus influenzae.

Research Contributions

Célia Bettencourt has made substantial contributions to the field of infectious diseases, with an emphasis on the epidemiology and genomic characterization of bacterial pathogens. Her research includes the study of SARS-CoV-2 dynamics in Portugal, genomic surveillance of Neisseria meningitidis, and the molecular epidemiology of Haemophilus influenzae in the post-vaccine era. Her work provides valuable insights into the genetic diversity and virulence of pathogens, which is crucial for public health surveillance and vaccine strategy development.
