Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) since 2018; holder of a post-graduate certificate in knowledge exchange, University of Strathclyde, 2019. Her research focuses on medicinal/organic chemistry of small molecules, including steroids and terpenoids, with relevant bioactivities in the context of infection, cancer and pain. VMM has attracted funding as leading project investigator (PI) and as project participant from a wide range of international sources including Business Finland (former TEKES), Suomen Akatemia (AKA), Magnus Ehrnroothin säätiö, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC, UK), Tenovus Scotland, the European Union (7th Framework Programme, FP7, COST action CM1307 (2016-2018) and the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT). She has authored/co-authored several peer-reviewed publications and is an inventor in patents. She supervises/has supervised post-doctoral researchers, doctoral and masters’ students. Her work was presented in international and national scientific meetings as oral and poster communications. She has been the examiner of doctoral and masters’ thesis and the external reviewer for grant applications of research institutions in Serbia, Cyprus, France, Slovenia, the UK, Finland and Denmark. She serves(ed) as a member scientific advisory and session chair of several international meetings. She serves(ed) as a member of the Board of examiners in Masters’ Programmes in Pharmacy across Europe. She is a regular reviewer for several journals in the field of organic & medicinal chemistry. In recognition of her research achievements, VMM was highlighted by the European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry (EFMC), as one of the "New talents Europe 2016". Other international awards and distinctions, won competitively throughout her career include: the Chancellor’s Research Fellowship, University of Strathclyde, UK (2017), selection for the ERC StG 2015 Interview step (appl. no. 678342, 1 499 714EUR), having her doctoral work selected by Atomium Culture EU news highlights (2012), receiving the highest grade in her doctoral dissertation defense at the University of Coimbra (2008) and receiving the "Best student of Pharmacy in Portugal" award, in 2003 (Prémio Sociedade Farmacêutica Lusitana).
