Bruno Costa (BC) is an Assistant Researcher contracted by the School of Medicine, University of Minho (Portugal), working at the Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS). He graduated in Applied Biology in 2003 and completed his PhD degree in Health Sciences in December 2008 by the University of Minho. During his PhD studies, BC also worked for 2 years at the UCSF (University of California, San Francisco, USA) under the supervision of Prof. Joseph Costello. Between January 2009 and June 2013, he was a Post-Doc fellow from FCT (Portugal) at the ICVS/3B's, a Portuguese Associate Laboratory. During his scientific career, BC has also worked in other research groups in Portugal (University of Porto and University of Minho), and in the Netherlands (Leiden University Medical Centre). More recently, BC was granted various highly competitive positions, including an FCT Investigator position (starting grant) in 2013, a CEEC Assistant Researcher position in 2019, and secured a permanent position as an Assistant Researcher at the University of Minho in December 2021. BC is mainly interested in the study of molecular (genetic and epigenetic) and cellular hallmarks of human brain tumors, and how these can be translated into therapeutic and prognostic values, contributing to a precision medicine approach in brain cancer care. Of all brain tumors, glioblastoma (GBM) is particularly devastating, being the most common and most malignant type. The clinical outcomes are very poor and vary greatly among patients. Paradoxically, GBM patients are almost always treated with a "one fits all" standard approach, mostly because good prognostic and therapy response biomarkers are still lacking. Using a wide panoply of biological samples, ranging from preclinical in vitro and in vivo models, to primary tumor and biofluid samples obtained from patients, BC has been focused on better defining the heterogeneous molecular and cellular landscapes of GBM, identifying novel clinically-useful biomarkers, and exploiting novel therapeutic strategies to target key oncogenic features. BC has accumulated 22 honors/prizes, including prestigious recognitions from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (2010 Award on Cutting Edge Research in Life Sciences), the Luso-American Development Foundation, and the Portuguese League Against Cancer. He directly secured ~745.000 ¿ as projects PI/co-PI from various funding agencies, plus 250.000¿ as a team member of institutional projects, and 492.500¿ as FCT salary grants. He was an invited speaker in 29 communications, including 8 plenary talks, and was a guest editor for 4 international scientific journals. His work as project leader was awarded with 12 best poster/oral communication prizes in scientific meetings. BC has been an invited grant evaluator for 6 international funding agencies, and a recurring referee for >30 ISI-index international journals. BC successfully supervised 8 PhD, 10 MSc, and 6 Medical (final-year project) students who already concluded their thesis, and is currently the supervisor of 2 Post-Docs, 3 PhD and 1 MSc students. He has been a main organizer of multiple annual editions of 6 post-graduation courses at the School of Medicine, 1 international EMBO workshop (2014), and a jury member in 12 MSc and 7 PhD defenses (excluding those at University of Minho). BC was an elected member of the School Council of the School of Medicine (2015-2020), and presently is a Board Member of the Portuguese Association for Cancer Research, and a National Delegate MC Member of 2 European COST Actions (CA18206 granted in 2019, and CA22103 granted in 2023) in the field of Neuro-Oncology. He was recently listed in the "World¿s Top 2% Scientists 2023¿ according to a study by the University of Stanford and the publishing company Elsevier.
