L. Matos graduated in Biochemistry from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto in 2005. She then moved to the Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, where she pursued her post-graduate studies: she obtained her MSc in Molecular Medicine and Oncology in October 2008 and her PhD degree in Metabolism, clinical and experimental in December 2015. At the same time, since October 2006, she lectures Cellular and Molecular Biology (CMB) at the Faculty of Nutrition and Food Sciences, University of Porto (UP), where she assumed regency since Sep 2020. From October 2016 until September 2020 she also lectured and took on the regency of 2 curricular units of CMB at the Faculty of Dental Medicine, UP. Her PhD thesis on ¿Metal-induced oxidative stress in human fibroblasts: a role in cellular ageing¿, describes a novel stress-induced premature senescence cellular model, demonstrates for the first time the requirement of unfolded protein response activation for the induction of senescence in non-tumoral cells and reports resveratrol protective effects on senescence. These major findings were published as three original research papers in Q1 journals in the field, in which she was the first author. After finishing her PhD, she went twice on maternity leave, which caused 2 interruptions in her scientific/academic activities. As a specialist in the field of cellular ageing, L. Matos is annually invited to lecture in Gerontology sessions of MSc and PhD programs at FMUP. Also, the expertise obtained during her MSc on molecular human reproduction allowed her to participate in national and internationally funded projects (Crioestaminal, Bebévida and Merck¿s Grant for Fertility Innovation) and maintain active collaborations in this research field that resulted in co-authorship of 5 publications: in 2017, a review paper on the involvement of follicular fluid redox state on ovarian follicle growth and an original research paper on age-related expression of TGF beta receptors in human cumulus oophorus cells (doi:10.1007/s10815-017-0930-6); in 2019, an original research paper on the appearance/modulation of age-related changes in mouse ovaries (doi:10.1155/2019/5316984); in 2020, an original research paper on the impact of age-related oxidative modifications to uterine albumin in trophoblasts function (doi:10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2020.03.020); and in 2021 a review paper on the redox imbalance in age-related ovarian dysfunction. Overall, she published 21 papers in international peer reviewed journals and 1 book chapter (with 2 authors), accumulating 392 citations, with an h-index of 11. L. Matos received several national and international distinctions, including a COST supported travel grant and best poster/communication awards. Besides, she participates in dissemination of knowledge activities promoted by "Escola de Ciências da Vida e da Saúde" since 2007, has experience in mentoring pre-/post-graduate students to acquire autonomy in several routine/specific lab procedures, and she started the formal supervision of BSc students: five concluded between 2020 and 2023 and one ongoing, to be finished in 2024. Currently, L. Matos actively collaborates with clinicians (Hospital CUF Porto, CETI, and Centro Materno-Infantil do Norte), having facilitated access to human samples, which allows her to be enrolled in translational research. In the 4th edition of individual CEEC promoted by FCT, she has been awarded with a 6-years junior researcher contract (https://doi.org/10.54499/2021.02032.CEECIND/CP1663/CT0013). Also, she had an approved project as principal investigator in 2022 FCT call (http://doi.org/10.54499/2022.04368.PTDC).
