Delfim Duarte is a physician-scientist interested in understanding ecological interactions between malignant and non-malignant cells and their surrounding microenvironments. He has a particular interest in bone marrow (BM) niches, normal and malignant hematopoiesis, vascular biology and intravital microscopy. Delfim obtained his MD at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto (FMUP). He has previously previously performed research in the fields of angiogenesis, inflammation and cell microparticles. In 2014, he moved to Cristina Lo Celso's lab (Imperial College London; GABBA program) where he studied the interaction between acute leukemic cells and BM niches. He reported that T-ALL is niche-agnostic and extremely motile and investigated the disruption of HSC-supporting niches in AML. In 2017, he was part of the European Hematology Association (EHA)-American Society Hematology (ASH) TRTH program. He has published several papers, including first-author publications in Nature, Cell Stem Cell and Blood. His research program is funded by several national and international projects. He was named Young Hematologist of the Year in 2019 and was awarded the National Hematology Prize in 2021, by the Portuguese Society of Hematology. He graduated from the residency/fellowship in Clinical Hematology in October 2023 and is currently a practicing Hematologist at IPO-Porto. Since 2021, he is a Group Leader (Hematopoiesis & Microenvironments Group) at i3s.
