Filipa Pinto-Ribeiro is an Assistant Professor/Researcher at the NoPain Group (ICVS - Univ. Minho). She earned her PhD in Health Sciences in 2010 (EM - University of Minho), MSc in Marine Science and Resources in 2002 (ICBAS - University of Porto), and MA in Biology in 1997 (FCUP - University of Porto). She published 50 papers, a book chapter, and has an H-index of 16 (765 citations) and supervised 1 post-hoc, 5 PhD thesis (2 finished, 3 on-going) and 10 MSc dissertation. Her research focuses on the intricate aspects of osteoarthritis (OA) and its correlation with chronic pain and associated mood impairments, with a special focus on pain descending facilitation. Using a comprehensive approach involving behavioural, stereological, electrophysiological, histopathological, and immunohistochemical techniques, she uncovered how several frontal and mid-brain regions like the prefrontal cortex and hypothalamic nuclei contribute to nociceptive facilitation in OA, a pathway mediated through several spinal projecting brainstem areas. Recently, she developed an animal model of experimental osteoarthritis through which she investigated sex-specific responses within the supraspinal circuitry, revealing a distinctive pattern of mechanical hypersensitivity in pain development in experimental OA, accompanied by supraspinal alterations. Specifically, she identified astrocytic activation exclusively in the brainstem of female animals. In addition to winning several awards, over the past five years, she has successfully obtained funding to support her research group through private contracts with the industry. These contracts involve testing new drugs for the treatment of inflammatory and neuropathic pain.

  1. Data from the manuscript [A role of supraspinal galanin in behavioural hyperalgesia in the rat]. In chronic pain disorders, galanin (GAL) is able to either facilitate or inhibit nociception in the spinal cord but the contribution of supraspinal galanin to pain signalling is mostly unknown. The dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (DMH) is rich in galanin receptors (GALR) and is involved in behavioural hyperalgesia. In this study, we evaluated the contribution of supraspinal GAL to behaviou. 2014.
