Susana Lima graduated in Biology at the Faculty of Sciences University of Porto in 2018. She did her bachelor's thesis in I3S -Instituto de investigação e inovação em saúde - under the supervision of Boris Safronov, specialist in single cell patch clamp and nociceptive processing i the spinal cord. During the bachelor's she remained two years working in the characterization of contralateral spinal circuits, as well as synaptic characterization of spinal lamina I projection and local-circuit neurons. During this period she learned the basis of the patch-clamp technique, the preparation of intact spinal cords, and the method of the single cell imaging with LED illumination. At the moment, Susana is performing her master's degree at the University of Minho in Health Sciences. She is working with Luísa Pinto and Patrícia Patrício, both specialists in adult neural stem cells and depression. Her thesis is focused on the implementation of a chronic social stress rat model and the effects of allopregnanolone to reverse depressive and anxiety-like signs in nulliparous and primiparous females.
