As a citizen of Gabon, I hold a Scientific Baccalaureate (Series D), a Bachelor’s degree in General Biology and Earth Sciences, a Research Master’s in Wood Sciences, and a Ph.D. in Wood Sciences, obtained respectively at Jean Baptiste ADIWA High School (2007), the University of Science and Technology of Masuku (2012), the National School of Water and Forests (2015), and the University of Lorraine in France (2020). Then, as a research associate at the Institute for Agricultural and Forestry Research (IRAF)/CENAREST, I am developing new knowledge on the ecophysiology of mangroves exposed to mineral and organic pollution, as well as techniques for restoring them.  I have four (4) publications and one (1) book chapter, three of which have been published in indexed journals.  I won two awards in 2019 in France and in 2024 in Dubai, demonstrating the impact of pollution on the properties of Avicennia germinans mangrove wood. I have also participated in the evaluation of two scientific articles in two international journals, namely the Asian Journal of Environment and Ecology and the Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection. I teach wood science at the National School of Water and Forests of Gabon and supervise undergraduate and graduate students working on topics related to the technological properties of wood in general and mangroves in particular. Finally, I also consult for NGOs involved in the preservation and restoration of mangrove ecosystems. I have also participated in the authorization of mangrove-related projects.

Ons Bouchami holds a Ph.D. in Biology from the Faculty of Sciences of Tunis, University of Tunis El Manar, Tunisia. Her research primarily focuses on antimicrobial resistance in bacterial pathogens, particularly Staphylococcal species. She has made significant contributions to understanding the molecular epidemiology, genetic diversity, and evolution of antibiotic resistance determinants in healthcare-associated pathogens. During her postdoctoral studies (2012-2022) at the Microbiology of Human Pathogens Unit, ITQB-NOVA, she focused on molecular epidemiology and evolutionary pathways of antibiotic resistance in staphylococci, utilizing advanced bioinformatic and molecular tools. Collaborating with healthcare professionals and veterinarians, Ons Bouchami investigated animals and the meat-processing chain as potential reservoirs for multidrug-resistant bacteria in hospitals. She also partnered with chemists to discover new antibiotics for combating infections from these bacteria. Her discoveries empowered her to question the traditional clinical perspective on coagulase-negative staphylococci, challenging the notion that these infections are uniform across various species and strains. Since 2022, she has been with the Human Microbiota – Xenobiotics Interactions Lab at ITQB NOVA, investigating the impact of xenobiotics on the gut microbiome. Ons Bouchami has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and has actively engaged in various academic activities, including teaching, mentoring, and serving as an editorial board member for scientific journals organizing scientific events. Her work has greatly advanced our understanding of antibiotic resistance dynamics and infection control strategies.

Research Interest: Antimicrobial resistance; Bacterial Evolution; Human gut Microbiome; Metals; Xenobiotics Interactions; Pathogenicity; Bioinformatics; Metagenomics
