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.

Isidro A. Pérez is Associate Professor of Applied Physics at the University of Valladolid. His scientific career began with measurement and modelling of photochemical oxidants. The following research line was the management of RASS sodar data, which led to different papers. This device analyses the low boundary layer beyond the heights investigated by any meteorological tower. After that, CO2 concentrations were studied at a rural site and several papers that combined RASS sodar observations with concentrations measured present the results of this research. Moreover, parametric and nonparametric procedures were used to investigate the daily and annual cycles of greenhouse gases. The analysis of air parcel trajectories was later considered and the contrast between Atlantic and continental trajectories was observed on the greenhouse gas concentration recorded. Finally, his research is oriented towards the trend determination by parametric and nonparametric procedures and the origin of greenhouse gas outliers and their influence on this trend.
Research Interest: Low atmosphere meteorology; Air pollution; Statistics of meteorological observations

germ cells of laboratory mice (in vivo tests) after combined action of X-rays
and chemicals occurring in the environment. She studied the antioxidants
properties of flavonoid and catalase on the DNA damage induced in human sperm
by thyroid hormone and noradrenaline. She was involved in biomonitoring studies
of DNA damage measured by comet assay in leucocytes of blood donors and in
sperm of pregnant women’s partners. Recently, she worked on the effects of
phthalates on the male germ cells and the development of the offspring of males
treated before mating. Moreover, she studied the effect of subchronic exposure
to low doses of X-rays and endocrine disruptors on the quantity and quality of
spermatozoa as well as the effects on the pre- and postnatal surviving and
development of the offspring of exposed males. She studied the DNA damage in
leucocytes of nuclear medicine workers. Presently, she studies the
