Joana Correia is a PhD student in the laboratory of Prof. Patrícia Maciel at Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), University of Minho, Braga, Portugal. She holds a BSc in Biochemistry (2011; University of Porto) and MSc in Health Sciences (2014; University of Minho). Throughout academic career she has worked in the neurosciences field in translational research projects of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. She received 7 awards and published 19 original articles. Currently, she is studying HPA-related stress response and modulation in a mouse model of Machado-Joseph disease, and biomarker research for therapeutic development. She has skills in laboratory animal sciences: handling, drug administration, surgeries, several behavioural assessments (motor, mood, coping, anxiety, cognition), stress protocols and drug therapy. Technical skills in: tissue processing, cellular morphology, molecular biology techniques, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence and microscopy.
