Curriculum Vitae

João Filipe Oliveira

João Filipe Oliveira is a Principal Investigator at the ICVS 3B's Associate Laboratory. JFO is a pharmacist who received his PhD from Leipzig University, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Peter Illes. There, he became an expert in electrophysiology techniques to study astrocyte-mediated glutamatergic and purinergic signaling. He moved then to the ICVS (Braga, Portugal) under a Marie Curie Fellowship to study the impact of neuron-glia interactions on complex cognitive functions in health and disease. Taking advantage of the ICVS long record on neuroanatomy and behavioral testing, JFO tackled the unexpected link between astrocyte function and behavior outputs under the mentorship of Prof. Nuno Sousa. Additionally, he led the implementation of state-of-the-art electrophysiological techniques at the ICVS, including patch-clamp and in vivo LFP/spike recordings. Currently, JFO leads a research team that studies astrocyte modulation of brain circuits and behavior in physiological and pathological contexts. He has successfully coordinated 5 projects while 3 are running (over 1.3 million euros). He has established international collaborations and supervised several students (4 PhD and 2 MSc ongoing; 1 Postdoc, 3 PhD, and 9 MSc completed). He has been publishing as a senior/corresponding author in high-impact journals (Molecular Psychiatry, IF=14.5; Trends in Neurosciences, IF=12.5), also in collaboration (Nature Neuroscience IF=20.1; Nature Communications IF=12.1), and his work has been cited over 2400 times (h=22; mean IF last 5 years: 9.51). He is regularly invited to talk at several international and national Neuroscience meetings. He is Associate Editor in Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience - Non-Neuronal Cells and MDPI Biology, and he is frequently requested to peer-review for both Journals and Funding Agencies. Finally, as a reflection of the relevance of his work in the field, he has been involved in organizing many relevant events. In 2017, he was the lead organizer of the XV Portuguese Neuroscience Meeting. He integrated the Local Organizing Committee of the XIV European Meeting on Glial Cells in Health and Disease in Porto (2019). Indeed, as the chair of the Portuguese Glial Network, JFO has been driving the field of astrocytes forward and becoming recognized in Portugal and internationally. He chairs Symposia in relevant Meetings: Euroglia 2017 Edinburgh, FENS 2022 Paris, and ISN-APSN Meeting 2022 Honolulu. Finally, The organization of an IBRO-PERC-supported Satellite Symposium of Glia 2019 held at ICVS (154 delegates), gathering experts from all over the world, is just an example. These activities and established networks demonstrate the level of research independence reached despite his short career.
