Curriculum Vitae

Maria José de Oliveira Diógenes Nogueira

Maria José de Oliveira Diógenes has the "Agregação" (habilitation) in Medicina, Pharmacology since 2018 by Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Lisboa. In 2009, she obtained the PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences, Basic Neurosciences at Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Lisboa. In 2003 she acquired the title of Master in Neurosciences at Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Lisboa and in 2001 she received the Basic Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences by Faculdade de Farmácia, Universidade de Lisboa. She is associate professor (Pharmacology and General Therapeutics) at Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Lisboa and lead a research group at Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes. She published 46 articles in peer reviewed international journals. She is author of two book chapters. Maria José Diógenes won two very competitive National applications ("Projetos Santa Casa Neurociências, Prémio Mantero Belard 2017 " and "Projetos Santa Casa Neurociências, Prémio Mantero Belard 2021) for projects in the field of Neurodegenerative disorders (note that each year there is only one winner). The major focus of her research line is to deeply study the impairments in neurotrophic factors signaling in neurologic and neurodevelopmental disorders and to develop strategies to recover them. She supervised 6 post-docs, 9 PhD Students (6 completed), 25 Master's Students (25 compleated) and co-supervised 1 post-doc, 2 PhD and 5 Master's Students (5 completed).
