Is Assistant Professor in Universidade do Minho. Published 40 articles in journals. Has 1 section(s) of books. Supervised 5 Ph.D. thesis(es). Supervised 19 MSc dissertation(s) and co-supervised 1. Has received 2 awards. Participates as Other in 1 project, Principal investigator in 2 projects, Researcher in 9 projects, and Supervisor in 5 projects. She is specialized in organic synthesis and has been applying her expertise to the design of new small molecules with biological activity and to the development of new synthetic methods to generate the target bioactive molecules. Her research interests include the design, synthesis, and characterization of nitrogen-based heterocycles for several biological applications, as novel biochemical tools and/or therapeutic drugs. Her areas of interest embrace cancer, schizophrenia, and neglected tropical diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, leishmaniasis and sleeping sickness. Works in the area of Exact Sciences with emphasis on Chemical Sciences and Organic Chemistry. In their professional activities interacted with 182 collaborators co-authorship of scientific papers.
