Helena Beatriz Cinza Santos Leal Ferreira de Sousa is graduated in Biochemistry (2017, University of Aveiro (UA), Portugal). In 2019, she concluded her MSc in Biochemistry - minor in Clinical Biochemistry (UA, Portugal). In 2023, she received her PhD degree in Biochemistry from UA with the thesis: "A lipidomic perspective of autoimmune diseases for the discovery of new biomarkers for personalize medicine," providing her consolidate skills and know-how in autoimmune diseases, oxidation of phospholipids, mass spectrometry and lipidomics approaches. During her Ph.D., Helena also worked as a trainee in AVELAB, a laboratory of medical analysis, which allowed her to better understand the corporate world, strengthening her perspective of the correlation between academia and hospital. From December 2023 to present, she is a Post-doc fellow at the Mass Spectrometry Centre (Department of Chemistry & LAQV-REQUIMTE) at UA, where she develops work in lipidomics approaches of vascular diseases under the Horizon Europe project VASCUL-AID (Horizon 101080947). This allows her to develop work with different mass spectrometers, coupled to liquid and gas chromatography apparatus, enabling her to build up her knowledge on cardiovascular medicine and skills on experimental methodologies, informatics tools and mass spectrometry data analysis. She is co-author of +15 publications, +9 poster communications, and +7 oral communications in several national and international scientific meetings. She has been a member of a scientific project, organizing and scientific committees of several meetings (workshops) and participated in juris and evaluation committees. Helena has been monitoring practical and written work of Bachelor, Master and PhD students. She has also been invited by international journals to participate as reviewer. Her research interests include the applications of Omics tools to different fields of research namely Lipidomics in Health & Disease and Oxidative Lipidomics. She has received 5 awards and/or honors revealing her best knowledge and scientific skills.
