Hugo Miguel do Vale Leite Santos de Almeida graduated in Biochemistry in 2003 at University of Porto and completed his doctoral degree in Health Sciences in 2011 at the University of Minho. Currently he is a Contracted Researcher at the ICVS/3B`s - Laboratório Associado, University of Minho. He has published 54 articles in peer-reviewed Journals that received over 1450 citations (H-index 21). HLA also published 5 book chapters, more than 60 abstracts and 8 oral communications in multiple congresses/meetings. Since 2006 HLA teaches undergraduate Histology and Embryology and post-graduate courses/programs – e.g., Laboratory Animal Science, Fundamentals in Neurosciences, Pathogenesis of Neurodegenerative Diseases – at the School of Medicine. Presently, HLA leads the Neurobiology of Pain (NoP; https://icvs.uminho.pt/neurobiology-of-pain/) group that brings together several ICVS based Principal Investigators with complementary research lines covering pain mechanisms across a variety of models (e.g., peripheral neuropathy, arthritis) as well as of human pathologies (e.g., postsurgical chronic pain, hemophilia, trigeminal neuralgia). His main research interests are i. chronic pain and comorbid behaviors, ii. central maladaptive plasticity in chronic pain, and iii. biological determinants of pain resistance and susceptibility. HLA laboratory has been supported multiple projects that obtained over €7M in competitive funding, including more than €650K as leading researcher from national and international agencies (IASP, FCT, BIAL and European Commission. His group has an extensive network of collaboration including a recently funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions - Innovative Training Networks (MSCA-ITN) and a ERA-NET NEURON. HLA received the International Association for the Study of Pain Early Career Research Grant Award in 2015.
