N. Tatiana Almeida Silva holds a PhD in Neuroscience from Nova University of Lisbon (2022), an MSc in Biomedical Research - Neurobiology from the University of Coimbra (2014), and a BSc in Biology from the University of Aveiro (2012). Currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Champalimaud Neuroscience Program, Tatiana has published four peer-reviewed articles and has one recent preprint, and shared data in open repositories for further research. She has received several awards and honors, including an Erasmus scholarship from the European Commission, a merit-based award for the top 3% of students at the University of Coimbra, and a 4-year PhD fellowship from FCT. An advocate for equality, inclusion, diversity, and ethics in the workplace, Tatiana is also dedicated to science outreach. Her leadership roles include serving as an elected PhD representative, managing projects, and mentoring students. Tatiana's research lies at the intersection of Neurobiology and Health Sciences, with a focus on the interaction between brain plasticity, neural circuits, and behavior. She is deeply interested in how changes in behavioral state can modulate and even enhance learning and memory processes, and in using insights from her research to inform behaviour-based therapies.
