From 2006 to 2009, I completed my undergraduate studies in Cell and Molecular Biology (FCT-NOVA). Two years later, I obtained my MSc in Biotechnology (FCT/NOVA). In 2016, I received my PhD in Biochemistry under supervision of Profs. Teresa Santos-Silva and Maria João Romão (UCIBIO, FCT-NOVA) focusing on the structural/functional characterization of protein-ligand interactions of bioactive metal-based drugs - CORMs (CO-Releasing Molecules) and vanadium-based (6 papers/18 poster communications). I gained a strong X-ray crystallography background: protein-ligand crystallization (soaking/co-crystallization); in-house/synchrotron data collection; structure determination/ refinement. I also contacted with basic organometallic procedures and biological assays during short stays at C.C. Romão (ITQB-NOVA) and P.V.Baptista (FCT-NOVA) Labs. In 2016/2017, I undertook a postdoctoral position within the FCT project PTDC/QEQMED/1902/2014 with T. Santos-Silva aiming to nanofunctionalize CORM-3 with gold nanoparticles to fight rheumatoid arthritis. Parallelly, I also investigated a bioeconomy-related formate dehydrogenase enzyme for CO2 reduction. In 2017/2018, I moved to CQE/IST-UL with J.Pessoa to study putative anticancer V/Cu-complexes. I further developed my expertise in biophysical methods [Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS)/Thermal Shift Assay (TSA)/Microscale Thermophoresis (MST)]. Within my collaborations, I also have contacted with other characterization techniques as Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and Circular Dichroism (CD). In 2019, on a part-time and volunteer-basis, I returned to UCIBIO where I have been involved in exciting drug design projects within new collaborations. With H.Terenzi (UFSC/Brazil), I started working on PtpA inhibitors, (co-)supervising 2MSc/3BSc students; with T.Santos-Silva, I started working on bacterial LCP protein family (biofilms formation implicated in antibiotic resistance); with L.Passarinha (UCIBIO; CICS/UBI), I was involved in the biophysical characterization of STEAP1 and COMT, 2 therapeutic protein targets in prostate cancer and Parkinson disease, respectively. In 2022, I started an independent collaboration with J.Dias (UCIBIO) on the structural/functional characterization of phage lysins to overcome antibiotic resistance. In addition, over the years, I spent several abroad periods (France, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Germany) improving my X-ray and SAXS data collection and analysis skills. To date, I have been member of 5 FCT financed projects (1.181.657¿) in addition to 2020-2023 UCIBIO and 2021-2025 i4HB funding projects (5.593.273€). I have 16 international peer reviewed publications (4 as 1st/corresponding author), 2 book chapters (both as corresponding author), 1 national peer reviewed paper, 1 national book chapter, 4 conference proceedings and 11 PDB entries [global Scopus metrics: H-index 11; 652 citations; average 36.22 citations per paper; average journal IF 7.3; most cited (153) paper: CCR, 2015, IF=24.8]. My work has been often presented in national/international structural biology/medicinal chemistry conferences (90 attendances: 24 oral/46 poster communications with 2 best poster awards) such as 1st-8th ENURS, EBSA2013, 47th Crystallographic School Erice, 6th ECCLS, 2014/2017/2021/2022/2023/2024 CCP4 Study Weekend and 7th ECBS/LS EuCHEMS. I supervised/co-supervised 6 BSc (2012/2013/2014/2018/2022/2023) and 3 MSc students (2015/2018/2019) tutoring over 40 other fellows and main argued 2 BSc projects (2018 and 2019). I supported Structural Biology classes (FCT-NOVA, FCS-UBI) and, in 2018, I co-organized the Workshop "X-ray Crystallography" (FCT-NOVA). I was still involved in different outreach activities (e.g., open day EXPO-FCT, 2014 International Year of Crystallography (FCT-NOVA), 2020 European Researchers Night) and I co-maintain a broad biology-based blog ("Science is Not Glamarous").
