Clarissa Pérez Faria has a PhD in Pharmacy, speciality in Microbiology and Parasitology, from University of Coimbra (Portugal), a Master's degree in Parasitic Biology from the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Rio de Janeiro - Brazil) and a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). She is Assistant Professor in Escola Universitária Vasco da Gama (EUVG) and Invited Assistant in Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Coimbra (UC), Coimbra, Portugal. Researcher at Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology(CNC/UC) and Centro de Investigação Vasco da Gama (CIVG). Participated as investigator in 8 funded scientific research projects (of which three research projects are still ongoing), published 16 articles in journals and 10 new nucleotide sequence of Giardia lamblia in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Her research is focused in infections with Giardia lamblia (giardiasis) evaluating the impact of genetic variability of parasite isolates in host-parasite interaction and in the discovery of new antiprotozoal drugs.
