Curriculum Vitae

Maria João Ferreira Canas dos Santos

Maria João Santos is a superior laboratory technician, since June 2007, at Laboratory of Mitochondrial BioMedicine and Theranostics (LBioMiT), Center for Neurosciences and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, which is recognized as an entity certified since 2011 by NP EN ISO 9001: 2008, with registration number 2011 / CEP.3971 (entity certifying APCER). She performs genetic analyzes, integrated in the diagnostic tests of mitochondrial cytopathies, using up-to-date techniques, such as Next Generation Sequence. She has a degree in Biochemistry and a master's degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology, both in the University of Coimbra. She is a PhD student of the Doctoral Program in Health Sciences, at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra. In May 2009, she did a scientific internship abroad, to learn how to perform the quantification analysis of the mitochondrial genome, at the Medical Genetics Laboratories, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Then, she implemented this technique at the LBioMiT, allowing the identification of a syndrome characterized by a decrease of the mitochondrial DNA copy number, the depletion syndrome. She is particularly interested in this syndrome, especially in the genetic causes associated with it, many of which are still unknown. In February 2015 she took part in the Global Action Against Dementia European Young Leaders in London, where she represented Portugal. Since 2017 she has been working in her PhD projet entitled "Unravelling the mitochondrial genomics, proteomics and metabolomics impairments occurring in Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy". Maria João Santos is co-author of 10 publications in peer reviewed journals and 34 papers in conference proceedings. She has 140 scientific communications, 101 of which are posters and 39 are oral presentations. In the last few years she has also participated in 3 research projects approved by the Foundation for Science and Technology and other 6 projects. h-index: 6; Citations: 125.
