INÊS DE SOUSA BERNARDINO graduated in Psychology from the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra in 2007 and completed a PhD degree in Health Sciences from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra in 2014, while the holder of a PhD grant from the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, FCT (SFRH/BD/41401/2007). After completing her PhD, she was awarded a FCT scholarship (SFRH/BPD/101641/2014) to develop her postdoctoral work at the Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Life Sciences (IBILI) of the University of Coimbra to explore the neural correlates of inhibitory control in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Her expertise lies in developing and implementing cognitive and imaging studies in clinical populations employing molecular, physiological, and behavioral complementary approaches, such as Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Neuropsychological tools. At present, she is an auxiliary researcher at the Coimbra Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Translational Research (CIBIT) of the Institute for Nuclear Sciences Applied to Health (ICNAS) of the University of Coimbra. She is integrated in the FLAD Science Award on Mental Health 2023 project entitled "Non-invasive brain stimulation for social cognitive impairment in Schizophrenia" (BS2C). Her research achievements are reflected in 1 book chapter and 17 original peer-reviewed papers with 360 citations and an H-index of 10 by Scopus. She has been involved, as a team member, in interdisciplinary European projects (BrainTrain Project-FP7-HEALTH-2013-Innovation-1-602186, Aims-2-trials - Grant agreement nº 777394) which offers the opportunity to create future long-standing collaborations. Concomitantly, she also had the opportunity to disseminate her research findings as author and co-author of 30 scientific posters and oral communications at national and renowned international conferences, for instance, Human Brain Mapping and Society for Neuroscience meetings. Importantly, her scientific profile has a distinctive feature rooted in her commitment to the field of Science Communication reflected in the Master in Communication of Science and Innovation she completed at the University of Trento. She has been enthusiastic about the conceptualization, design, and implementation of science communication actions that foster closer interactions with patients, families, local institutions, and general society. It is her commitment to contribute to impactful knowledge transfer actions that resonate with society.
