Curriculum Vitae

Beatriz Fernanda da Silva Guedes

Beatriz Guedes holds a Bachelor's degree in Genetics and Biotechnology from the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD) and a Master's degree in Clinical Laboratory Genetics from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra (FMUC). Her master’s thesis was focused on exploring the role of a candidate microRNA in mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammatory responses in Parkinson’s Disease, under the supervision of Dr. Ana Raquel Esteves, at the Gut-Brain Axis Group from the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC-UC). Along with her master’s thesis, she also worked on another projects, leading to the publication, as co-author, of one book chapter and two original papers, currently published in Redox Biology and International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Furthermore, as a result of the work that she developed for her master’s thesis, she is first author of one review article published in Biomedicines and one original publication that is under preparation. Moreover, she was first author in a conference poster and in an oral communication in two international meetings, specifically "AD/PD 2023 International Conference on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases and related neurological disorders" (Gothenburg, Sweden) and "57th Annual Scientific Meeting of the European Society for Clinical Investigation 2023" (Prague, Czech Republic). Additionally, she was first author of two poster communications in national meetings: "MAC- Mitochondria in Aging, Cancer, and Cell Death 2023" and “18th edition of the PDBEB symposium: (Not) Knowing What Comes Next: Tools for the Research of Tomorrow”. Moreover, she presented her work, as a speaker, at the 11th edition on signal transduction – SINAL 2024. Beatriz has been awarded a master’s research grant for the development of R&D activities within the project "Proof of concept for blood biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease" at iBiMED (University of Aveiro) and worked as a researcher at the Advanced Therapies Group (CNC - UC-Biotech), on the "Reset Bone Ageing" project. Most recently, she was awarded a FCT PhD Fellowship.
