Fani Lourença Moreira Neto. She got the title of Aggregate (Habilitation) in Neurosciences in 2018 by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto, a PhD in Human Biology in 2001 by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto and a Degree in Biochemistry in 1994 by the Faculty of Sciences and Institute of Biomedical Sciences of Abel Salazar, both from the University of Porto. She had an Erasmus scholarship in the last semester of her Biochemistry degree to do an internship at the University of Bergen, Norway from March to August 1994. In September 1994 she joined the 2nd Gulbenkian Doctoral Program in Biology and Medicine (2nd PGDBM) where she held a curricular year of theoretical and theoretical-practical studies (1994-1995). From November 1995 to June 1997 she was a researcher at Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie, in Munich, Germany, to do work for her PhD. She returned to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto in June 1997 to complete her PhD work, but in 1998 she returned, for 4 months, to the Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie, in Munich, to do part of her PhD studies, which she concluded at FMUP in July 2001. Since 2001 she has been Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto. She is involved in teaching at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd cycle of studies. She teaches the following topics: Histology and Embryology; Glial cells and nervous system (Master in Neurobiology; Doctoral Program in Neurosciences); Stereotaxic and microsurgery techniques in rodents (Master in Neurobiology; Doctoral Program in Neuroscience); Animal models of nervous system diseases (Master in Neurobiology; Doctoral Program in Neurosciences). She was Treasurer of the Executive Board of the Portuguese Association for the Study of Pain (APED) from 2007 to 2010 and Member of the Executive Board (vocal) of the same Association from 2010 to 2013. Since 2016 she has been treasurer of OBSERVDOR (National Center for Observation of Pain). She published 38 articles in international science journals with peer-review, from which 4 are reviews and the remaining is original work. She was co-author of 4 book chapters and 1 book. She is co-author of 15 articles in Portuguese journals. Her h-index (from ISI Web of Knowledge) is 20. She supervised 4 doctoral theses. She supervised 8 master's dissertations and co-supervised 8. She has been jury in several academic events, including PhDs’, masters’ and degrees’ thesis defenses. Evaluated 4 projects for foreign financing agencies. She received 16 prize (s) and/or honors. In its Ciência Vitae curriculum, the most frequent terms in the context of scientific and technological production are: Satellite glial cells; Sensory ganglia; Chronic Pain; Intraganglionar communication; Purinergic receptors; osteoarthritis, joint pain; dorsal root ganglia; spinal cord.
