She completed her PhD in Environmental Epidemiology in October 2023 at the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS, Utrecht University), where she investigated the health effects of (modelled) exposure to agricultural pollutants among the Dutch rural population using large administrative dababases. She has published 10 peer-reviwed papers and supervised 3 Master students. She currently holds a postdoc position continuing her work on the effects of agricultural pollutants on health, namely the effect of pesticides exposure on Parkinson's disease and COPD/asthma incidence and the effect of livestock-related endotoxin exposure on the incidence and severity of COVID-19. Mariana Simões concluiu o Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária em 2012 pela Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária, Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, o Mestrado em Epidemiologia em 2015 pela Universidade de Utrecht e o doutoramento em Toxicology & Environmental Health (especialidade Epidemiologia Ambiental) em Outubro de 2023 também pela Universidade de Utrecht. Publicou 10 artigos em revistas especializadas. Co-orientou 3 alunos de mestrado. Participou como Doutoranda em 1 projeto e Investigador Pós-doutorado em 2 projetos. Atua na área de Ciências Médicas e da Saúde com ênfase em Epidemiologia.
