Vanessa Coelho-Santos, an Invited Auxiliary Researcher affiliated with CIBIT, is deeply committed to uncovering the mechanisms underlying neurogliovascular unit development and their implications for neurodevelopmental disorders. Vanessa has BSc in Biotechnology in 2009, followed by an MSc in Cellular and Molecular Biology in 2012. She obtained her Ph.D. in Ageing and Chronic Disease from the University of Coimbra, Portugal, in 2018, supported by an Individual Doctoral Fellowship from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. Vanessa's journey into cerebrovascular research began in 2011 as a research fellow at the University of Coimbra, where she established in vitro and ex vivo models of the blood-brain barrier and neurogliovascular unit in both human and rodent systems. To further enhance her expertise, she secured a Luso-American Foundation Fellowship in 2017, relocating to the USA at the Medical University of South Carolina, where she acquired skills in surgery and 2-photon live imaging. During her postdoctoral period at the Seattle Children’s Research Institute/University of Washington, Vanessa investigated cerebrovascular changes induced by early life chronic intermittent hypoxia, employing high-resolution live imaging techniques. In December 2022, she returned to Portugal to commence independent work funded by a La Caixa Junior Leader Fellowship and a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship. Vanessa's research contributions include I have published 25 original articles (12 as 1st author and 5 as corresponding author), 1 editorial, 1 perspective, 1 opinion in international peer-reviewed journals and 3 peer-reviewed book chapters, along with numerous presentations at national and international conferences. She has received 19 awards, including recognition for merit and best scientific images, and has been invited to speak at prestigious international meetings. As a PI, she has accumulated more than €1M in research grants. Beyond her research, Vanessa is actively involved in science communication and outreach, advocating for women's participation in scientific aspirations.
