I have a degree in Biology (2001) from Porto University and in 2005 I finished my MSc in Molecular Genetics in the University of Minho (UM). In 2010 concluded my PhD in Biomedical Engineering in both UM and Cardiff University, UK. My PhD focused on virulence factors of Candida and was concluded with 11 peer reviewed international journals as first author. In 2011, I was awarded with FCT-Post-doctoral fellowship (CEB-UM), which focused on characterization of virulence determinants implicated in Candida host interactions. Since 2013 I have been working as Invited Assistant Researcher at CEB-UM. In parallel, I am a lecturer as Invited Assistant Professor at Department of Biological Engineering-UM. In 2016, I got a Graduation on Clinical Trials at the Clinical Academic Centre-Braga (2CA-Braga). Since 2018 I am the associate director at Laboratory of Applied Health Microbiology (CEB-UM). In 2015, I established my independent research on exploring the NAMs technology to control Candida virulence and antifungal resistance. During my career I have published 80 papers in peer-reviewed international journals (32 in the last 5 years), 2 patents, 10 book chapters and 1 book. Moreover, 65% of the published papers are in Q1 and 3 of them on top 5% of the journal ranking of Microbiology & Infection; 12 of them as last author and 60 as corresponding author. My h-index is presently 31 with more than 3200 citations (Science Researcher ID). I created, organized and lectured 4 editions of International Hands-on Biofilm course and 2 editions of Proteome 2Gene2Protein course. I was invited as a speaker in 8 scientific meetings and in 2019 I lectured a 2-week training course on molecular strategies to control Candida biofilms (Odontology University, Brasil). Since 2015, I was involved in supervision of 4 PhD, 10 MSc and 3 graduation students. My NAMs¿ team is currently composed by 1 Post-Doc fellow, 1 researcher fellow, 1 PhD and 1 MSc student. At the moment, I am PI of 2 FCT projects (AntiSense4CandiB-POCI-01-0145-FEDER-028893; LactCan-Norte-01-0145-FEDER-031515), 1 COMPETE/ANI-Industrial property project (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-042779) and TM in 1 CAPES-PRINT-UNESP (EDITAL PROPG 02/2019). In the last years, I was also a member of 2 other FCT projects and PI of 1 ANI project. I also got a vaginal candidiasis epidemiological study approved by the ethical commission of 2CA of Braga (SECVS 092/2017). I have also actively collaborated with national and international researchers, in the field of: NAMs design (J Wengel, Denmark); nanotechnology for drug delivery (B Almeida, Portugal and Z Denchev, Portugal), proteomic (C Gil, Spain) genomic (A Brown; UK) and transcriptomic (N Mira, Portugal) analysis; Galleria mellonella (D Mil-Homens, Portugal) and mouse (L. Cassó, Spain) in vivo models. In 2018 I joined to the lab of J. Wengel to improve my knowledge in the design and synthesis of NAMs. Seeking for an active relationship with companies, my path innovation already created 1 patent that is envisaged to translate NAMs technology into market.
