Susana G. Santos is an Associate Researcher at the Stem Cells in Regenerative Biology and Repair Group of i3S-Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde, University of Porto, Portugal, and an Invited Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, Portugal. Susana graduated in Biology at the University of Aveiro, and got a MSc in Molecular Microbiology from the same university. She was awarded a PhD in Biomedical Sciences, from ICBAS-Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas de Abel Salazar, University of Porto (GABBA PhD programme, 2005). Her PhD thesis was in immunology, focusing on biochemical aspects of MHC-class I molecules, their folding, cell surface display and protein interactions, and the work was performed in collaboration with IBMC-Instituto de Biologia Molecular e Celular, and the School of Life Sciences (SLS), University of Dundee, Scotland, UK. After, she worked as a Post-doc, on dendritic cell activation, and MHC-class I structures in exosomes, at the Medical School of the University of St Andrews Scotland, UK, and later became Medical Research Council (MRC) Career Development Fellow, at MRC-Protein Phosphorylation Unit, in SLS, Dundee, studying cell-signalling within the immune system. Susana moved to INEB, now part of i3S, in December 2008, and since then has been working on the inflammatory response to biomaterials and the interplay between inflammation and tissue regeneration, for osteoarticular and cardiovascular applications, and to fight cancer. Her research interests are in understanding and modulating: 1) the response of immune cells (particularly macrophages and dendritic cells) to injury and biomaterial implantation; 2) the communication between immune cells and tissue stem and stromal cells (e.g. MSC, fibroblasts), focusing on the role of Extracellular Vesicles (EV) and molecular regulators (e.g. miRNAs). Her ultimate goal is to design new therapeutic strategies for tissue repair/regeneration, and to fight cancer. Susana has participated in 23 funded projects, 21 concluded and 2 ongoing. She is currently PI of a project funded by ON Foundation, on EV-functionalized scaffolds for spine fusion; and participates in another projects, on 2D nanomaterials for anti-cancer photo and immunotherapy. She participated in 3 COST Actions, 2 concluded and 1 ongoing (working group co-leader). She has supervised 9 PhD (6 concluded and 3 ongoing) and 18 MSc students. She has also supervised research trainees and technicians, and hosted several international PhD, MSc and graduate students, and post-doc researchers, including ERASMUS+, IAESTE and others, and has participated in several PhD and MSc thesis examinations. Susana is co-author of 8 published book chapters and 66 manuscripts published in internationally recognized and peer reviewed journals (excluding conference proceedings and preprints), with an average IF of 6,222 and H-index of 29 (Scopus). She has presented 21 talks, including keynotes at PNEV 2023, SPCE-TC2022, TERMIS 2019 and NanoMed 2019. She also contributed to over 80 oral and poster communications, presented at national and international conferences. She has been awarded 3 prizes for research innovation in Portugal, and is co-inventor in 1 patent and 1 international patent request. Susana regularly organises scientific meetings (e.g. Symposium in Immunomodulation in Cancer and Regeneration, that will have its 5th edition in April2024), participates in teaching at graduate and post-graduate levels, and in public dissemination of science. Susana is currently vice-president of the i3S Committee for Ethics and Responsible Research Conduct (CECRI), and is co-founder, and co-coordinator, of the Portuguese Network on Extracellular Vesicles - PNEV.
