Ana Catarina Duarte obtained her BSc (2013) and MSc (2014) degrees in Biomedical Sciences from Universidade da Beira Interior (UBI). In February of 2021 she completed the Ph.D. in Biomedicine at UBI, with a work focused on the characterization of the expression and function of bitter taste receptors at the human blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. During the PhD, she was responsible for the supervision of younger students and lab management. She was also a member of the PhD Student Committee and participated in Animal Experimentation, Calcium Imaging, and Python and Data Science courses. Currently, she is member of the CICS-UBI Scientific Council. Ana Catarina Duarte is author of 17 articles (mean impact factor of 6.30) in journals indexed in Journal Citation Reports and 1 book chapter. In addition, has been part of the organizing committee of 2 national and 1 international meetings and has presented her work at several national and international scientific conferences (awarded with 5 travel grants). She was also awarded with the best joint paper in CICS-UBI Symposium in 2021. Enrolled in the lecture of Oncobiology subject to MSc degrees at UBI from 2016 to 2019. Her current work, at Guarda Polytechique Institute and CPIRN laboratory, focus in Medical and Health Sciences with emphasis on in vitro research (cell and tissue culture), and development of Biomaterials to replace animal-origin products in research.
