Chantal Fernandes graduated in Biochemistry in 2004 and obtained her PhD in Biochemistry, specialty Microbiology in 2009, at the University of Coimbra, Faculty of Sciences and Technology. Since January 2019, Chantal is a Junior Researcher at the Center for Neurosciences and Cell Biology at the Medical Microbiology research group (PI: Prof. Teresa Gonçalves). She has been developing work in the physiology of Alternaria alternata, an environmental filamentous fungus, agent of opportunistic infections in humans and considered as one of the most important fungal species causing sensitization, provoking respiratory allergies, as rhinitis, and asthma. She has focus on the characterization of its fungal cell wall structure, namely on the study of the modulation of these cell components in response to antifungals, on their contribution for virulence and on their allergic potential. Her major achievements were obtained in collaboration with Prof Neil Gow, a world leading expert in fungal pathogenesis, from the Univ. of Aberdeen, UK, and Arturo Casadevall, globally known expert in immunity and fungal virulence, from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USA. Presently, she has a collaboration with Jay Slater and Michael Brad Strader, from US Food and Drug Administration for the study of A. alternata proteome. Chantal has also been dedicated to the study of new antimicrobial therapy strategies in the area of fungi and biofilms composed of bacteria and fungi. She participated in several national and international scientific events. She had mentored and co-mentored multiple degree and master students, with participation in academic juris. Chantal is co-author in 23 publications in high impact factor journal, of these, 10 as first author, 2 as corresponding author, 1 as shared senior author. She has 6 manuscripts currently under preparation.
