Curriculum Vitae

Bárbara Joana Henriques

Bárbara J. Henriques is Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at Ciências/ULisboa. Graduated in Chemistry at University of Coimbra (2002), obtained a Ph.D. in Biochemistry/Structural Biochemistry, at New University of Lisboa (2010). Bárbara's research at Biosystems & Integrative Sciences Institute (BioISI, Ciências/ULisboa ) focuses on establishing molecular mechanisms underlying protein misfolding and functional deficiency in the context of rare metabolic disorders, resorting to patient profiling and biochemical and cellular models. She is also dedicated to protein design for production of bioadhsives inspired in bioadhesive proteins from marine organisms. Experimentally, she uses a complementary set of tools, ranging from biochemical and molecular biology to biophysical, spectroscopic and proteomics techniques. This follows international experience obtained during training periods at Aarhus University Hospital (Denmark) and Université Paris Descartes (France), and +19y research experience in rare metabolic diseases. Her main scientific contributions translate to establishing the molecular and biochemical basis of therapeutic potential of dietary vitamins, definition of genotype-phenotype relationships, and profiling protein dysfunction in mitochondrial disease. Current research focus is on mitochondria beta-oxidation disorders caused by defects on ETF, ETF:QO or acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, and on leukodystrophies, neurometabolic rare diseases caused by defects in mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, involving active research collaborations with national (INSA, PT) and international (Department Clinical Neurosciences-University of Cambridge, UK) and (Aarhus University Hospital, DK) reference laboratories. In 2021 she obtained a highly competitive individual grant (Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus - FCT, Assistant Researcher) to investigate the molecular pathophysiology of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS)-related neurological diseases. Bárbara research also focus in developing nature-inspired biocompatible protein bioadhesives for biomedical and biotechnological applications. Bárbara raised a total of 437 kEUR (2016-2024) in competitive calls as PI of 6 different projects. Has published +18 articles in peer-review journals, 9 in conference proceedings, and 4 book chapters, with an h-index of 12 and +538 citations (Scopus). Was guest co-editor of a special issue on protein folding diseases at the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (Q1 in Medicine). Is Dissemination and Communication Manager at TWIN2PIPSA HorizonEU Twinning Project. Has regular activity as ad-hoc peer reviewer for scientific journals (+10). Has presented research work in +90 international meetings, including +22 oral communications and +75 posters. Has supervised +28 young researchers, is currently supervising 2 PhD student, 3 MSc students. Lectures regularly Experimental Biochemistry II course (2y Biochemistry BSc), and Experimental Design I and Structure and Function of Proteins courses (1y Biochemistry and Biomedicine MSc). Has integrated academic examination boards (opponent) and participates in public outreach activities (open days, social media, and as contributor to the Gene Wikipedia (ETFA and ETFB entries)). Her work in rare metabolic disorders has been recognized by the Portuguese Society of Metabolic Diseases (SPDM) which awarded her a research grant (10kEUR, 2022), a Scientific Publication grant (2021), and a short-term fellow (2019). Since 2021 Bárbara is a member of the clinical workgroup on Beta Oxidation Disorders at SPDM. Mother of two, has had two career breaks (8 and 5 months) due to maternity leaves (2013 and 2017).
