Curriculum Vitae

Claudia Silva Marques

Claudia Marques finished the degree in Biology from Universidade de Évora (Portugal), in 2003. In 2011, she obtained a doctoral degree in Biomedical Sciences, specializing in Parasitology at the Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical (Universidade Nova de Lisboa). She has more than 10 years of postdoctoral experience and have been involved in several projects related to the development of nanodrug delivery systems for the treatment of tumors and parasitic diseases, cytotoxicity, immunotoxicity and inflammatory profile induced by different compounds and nanoparticles, host-parasite (Plasmodium ssp., Leishmania ssp., Toxoplasma gondii and Trypanosoma ssp.) interactions during in vivo infection of animal models and development of novel therapies for feline and human breast cancer. Currently, she is a junior researcher at the the Associate Laboratory for Animal and Veterinary Sciences (AL4AnimalS), Center for Study in Animal Science (CECA) - ICETA (University of Porto) and Instituto Nacional de Saúde Pública Dr. Ricardo Jorge - Porto, working in the detection and quantification of food and waterborne parasites (Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia spp. and Cyclospora cayetanensis) and on the biochemical and molecular basis of protozoa environmental contamination, including the development of diagnostic tools and risk assessment monitoring. C.S. Marque's technical skills include several immunological and cellular/molecular biology techniques, such as ELISA, DNA and RNA (total and miR) isolation and purification; real-time PCR; flow cytometry; cloning; immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence; microscopy; in situ hybridization; probe synthesis for in situ hybridization; monoclonal antibody production; SDS-page; western/northern/southern blot; HPLC and techniques related with nanoparticles production, characterization, cytotoxicity and inflammatory profile. She has published >30 papers in international peer-reviewed periodicals (accumulated impact factor of 135, >700 citations and an h-Index 17, >400 citations and h-Index 12 in the last 5 years, according to Google Scholar and WOS ResearcherID C-7463-2013) and presented >50 oral/poster communications in international congresses. She also has experience in supervising, teaching and supporting post-graduate students, lab management and reviewing/editing publications for high-impact factor journals.
