Rui Miguel Oliveira da Costa (RC) graduated in Biology in 2006 and earned a PhD in Cell Biology with highest honors in 2011 from the University of Coimbra, Faculty of Science and Technology. RC is currently a Contracted Researcher at the Centro de Inovação em Biomedicina e Biotecnologia (CIBB), where he leads a subgroup within the Neurotrophic Signaling group. Over the last five years, RC has secured research funding, participated in multiple funded projects, and presented his work at national and international meetings. RC has published 18 journal articles (8 as first or senior author, including in high-ranking journals such as Cell Reports, WIREs RNA, Aging Cell, and Neurobiology of Aging) and contributed to 2 book chapters, with 3 additional manuscripts currently under review. His work has garnered 1,576 citations (786 since 2019) and he holds an h-index of 18 (source: Web of Science, Google Scholar). His research focuses on Medical and Health Sciences with an emphasis on Neuroscience, Cell Biology, and synaptic biology. RC has extensive experience in research leadership, serving as Principal Investigator for 2 projects and as a contributor to 14 others in various capacities (e.g., Researcher, Postdoctoral Fellow, Technician). He has collaborated with over 200 researchers, both nationally and internationally, and worked at leading laboratories in Portugal, the USA, and Italy, including advanced training at Northwestern University’s Klein Lab (a leader in Alzheimer’s research) and L. Cancedda’s lab in Italy. His methodological expertise spans microscopy, molecular biology, neuronal cultures, in vivo models, and human sample processing, among others. In academia, RC has formally supervised 1 PhD student (ongoing), 7 MSc theses (4 ongoing) and co-supervised 4. mentored over 14 other MSc and PhD students during their laboratory internships. He has served on committees for 8 MSc thesis defenses and lectured in BSc, MSc, and PhD programs at the Universities of Coimbra and Algarve. RC has organized 5 events, including scientific courses, and participated in 35 conferences. He is also an ad hoc reviewer for several journals, including Aging Cell. RC’s academic and professional excellence has been recognized with 8 awards, including a Scientific Incentive Grant (2022) and competitive FCT fellowships for his PhD and postdoctoral research. Additionally, he has completed advanced training in Laboratory Animal Science (FELASA Category C, 2010). Key research themes in RC’s work include Alzheimer’s disease, ER stress, mitochondria, axonal biology, synaptic biology, and neurodegenerative disorders. His Ciência Vitae profile highlights frequent topics such as neuronal development, axonal degeneration, ribosomes, ubiquitin protein systems, advanced therapies, and biotechnology. RC has also benefited from paternity leave in 2017 and 2023, reflecting a commitment to both professional and personal responsibilities.
