Maria Manuel Donato has a degree in Biochemistry, a Masters in Cell Biology and a PhD in Biochemical Toxicology from the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra. She received a grant from the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra, which allowed her to develop research work in the area of Microbiology and more specifically in the sub-area of the environment and is currently an Assistant Researcher (career) at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra. After obtaining her PhD, her scientific activity has been carried out in the areas of Biological Sciences applied to Medicine, namely Gastroenterology and Pneumology, with a greater emphasis on Molecular Biology and Microbiology. She participates as a researcher in several scientific projects, financed by both public and private institutions and also in other studies that led to the obtaining of doctorates and the degree of specialists of graduates in medicine. According to Web of Science, at February 2024, she has 48 publications in indexed and quoted journals, with 457 citations and an H-index of 14, with the vast majority of scientific articles published in journals in the areas of Gastroenterology and Microbiology.. Within the scope of her scientific activity, she also participated in numerous courses, congresses, seminars, workshops where she presented several communications, both in written and oral form. In addition to the scientific component of its curriculum, it also provides services to the community, namely in the Gastroenterology Service of the CHUC, being responsible for the Laboratory of Breathing Tests and where the research tests for Helicobacter pylori, intolerance to lactose and bacterial overgrowth. Currently, the researcher is developing scientific work in the field of pneumology, namely in studies on bronchoalveolar lavage and exhaled breath condensate. In these field, the researcher focused her interest on inflammatory lung diseases, namely in the study of the inflammatory profile of macrophages in pulmonary fibrosis and in the identification of adenosine receptors in macrophages and fibroblasts of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
