Curriculum Vitae

Mariana Pereira de Magalhães

I have a BSc. in Biological Engineering, an MSc. in Biochemistry and a PhD in Experimental Biology and Biomedicine at the University of Coimbra (UC). Within my professional path in scientific research, I worked as a Research Fellow in different funded research projects in the pharmaceutical and life sciences, emphasizing cancer research. My willingness to continue learning and working on cancer research and brain disorders led me to apply for a PhD scholarship in 2019, which was granted to me by the Portuguese National Funding Agency (SFRH/BD/146441/2019) to work on the exploitation of the anti-tumour potential and mechanism of action of new natural lead compounds for future therapeutic strategies targeting glioblastoma. During this time, I was also a visiting PhD student in the group of Prof. Enzo Spisni at the University of Bologna, Italy, where I conducted studies on the effect of natural lead compounds in neuroinflammation associated with glioblastoma. My years of work provided me with extensive knowledge and experience in the fields of biomedicine, nanomedicine, cancer research, and mainly in glioblastoma's underlying molecular mechanisms and how to use them to get better and more effective therapeutic approaches. Since 2016, I have collaborated on the supervision of various projects/theses from BSc and MSc students on topics related to cancer research and had the opportunity to work with amazing investigators from different fields of health sciences. I was the lead guest editor in a Research Topic on gliomas microenvironment from the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology and Frontiers in Oncology. I published 22 articles in specialized and indexed journals (having 2 more currently under revision), 8 book chapters, and several communications at national and international scientific meetings. My work has been cited in over 900 scientific articles (h-index=14, i10-index=18, according to Google Scholar). As a sociable, communicative and proactive person, I participated in the EIT Health project’s initiative, i-Days a European student competition to tackle real-life health challenges, I was a finalist in the 4th edition of the University of Coimbra Three-Minute Thesis Competition, I am also involved in several outreach activities for the promotion of science as a collaborator and Researcher (e.g., European Researcher's Night, High School Activities) and I am an EACR Ambassador.
