I am a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from IHMT/NOVA, specializing in vector biology, parasitology, and sustainable solutions for mosquito-borne diseases. My research spans both Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes, addressing key public health challenges through innovative biological control strategies and advanced surveillance technologies. I have contributed to projects on mosquito vector competence, insecticide resistance, and microbiome analysis, informing public health policies in Portugal. My leadership includes securing funding for the FCT-funded SMART-DIET project, starting in 2025, which focuses on developing scalable solutions for Wolbachia infection in Aedes albopictus. I am also mentoring students whose research explores Anopheles vectors, such as their microbiomes and the impact of endosymbionts like Wolbachia on vector competence for malaria. With 27 peer-reviewed articles (H-index: 14, >800 citations) and 45 international conference presentations, my research has significantly advanced the field. My work integrates Wolbachia-based vector control with cutting-edge tools such as machine-learning-driven surveillance, contributing to the development of scalable, eco-friendly methods to reduce disease transmission. Currently based at the Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM), I leverage state-of-the-art facilities and interdisciplinary collaborations with the Lisbon Academic Medical Centre and international partners like Institut Pasteur and Yale University. These collaborations enhance my research scope and enable knowledge transfer across global networks. As a mentor, I have supervised 11 students across PhD, MSc, and BSc levels. This includes projects exploring mosquito microbiomes, the role of Wolbachia in Anopheles and Aedes species, and innovative approaches to vector competence. Through my mentorship, I aim to train the next generation of vector biology researchers with hands-on expertise in molecular biology and epidemiology. Beyond research, I am committed to public outreach and science communication, translating complex scientific concepts for broader audiences through workshops, social media, and public events. My contributions have been recognized with multiple awards, including the prestigious IHMT "Garcia da Orta" and "Professor Doutor Fraga de Azevedo" honors for excellence in research and mentorship.
