I am a biologist by training and have a PhD in Biomedical sciences from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Since my graduation, I have been mainly committed to research and teaching activities, participating in numerous scientific projects and being involved in several Master and Doctorate programs in Biomedical Sciences, namely as responsible for teaching Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, Bioinformatics and Biostatistics. During my doctoral work, I pursued molecular biology research aimed at understanding the interactions of the Plasmodium parasites and the Malaria mosquito vector. Next, my first post-doctoral work focused on the identification of genetic risk factors associated with human complex diseases, namely cardiovascular pathologies. This has demanded the development of a strong partnership with general public and clinicians in several medical units in Portugal and abroad as well as the conceptualization and implementation of all the management and laboratory projects tasks. During this time, I have also contributed to the establishment, organization and analysis of human biological banks and large databases and have also dedicated time to grant writing, websites creation, project management (trainee at CEDOC Management) and organization of events. More recently, I am an Invited Professor at IHMT, and the coordinator of the Bioinformatic facility and the Quality Departmentin at IHMT-UNL. I believe that during the past years I have developed my critical thinking and shown to be an independent investigator, prepared to work hard, both independently and as part of a team. My research background gave me complete knowledge about the national and international scientific policies and my multidisciplinary background (molecular biology, genetics and computational tools) and training at laboratories of the highest international prestige will be fundamental to carry out successfully all the steps of my future career.
