Teresa Sousa (PharmD, PhD) is an experienced pharmacologist, having worked for more than 18 years in basic and clinical research projects, as well as a pharmacology teacher, following her PhD in Pharmacology (2006,U.Porto), developed at the Institute of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Faculty of Medicine, U.Porto (FMUP) and at the Toxicology Lab, Faculty of Pharmacy, U.Porto (FFUP). Currently, she is an Assistant Investigator (Research Career, University of Porto) and Lecturer at the Department of Biomedicine – Unit of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, FMUP. She is the Module Director of “Pharmacology of Synaptic Transmission” (Doctoral Programme in Neurosciences) and “Neuronal Excitability and Neurotransmission” (Master in Neurobiology), also participating in teaching activities in other Doctoral Programmes and Masters at FMUP, related to Pharmacology and Metabolism. She is also an Effective Member of the Portuguese Societies of Pharmacology and Neurosciences. She began her career by studying the interrelationship between the purinergic system, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), the sympathetic nervous system and oxidative stress responses in animal models of arterial hypertension. After her PhD, she had the opportunity to collaborate in clinical studies in the fields of heart failure and childhood obesity. Additionally, she has also collaborated in experimental studies of inflammatory bowel disease. In 2009, while studying the protective effects of low-dose aspirin in cardiovascular diseases, she became deeply interested in the field of resolution of inflammation/resolution pharmacology, still poorly explored. Since then, she has been intensively dedicated to the study of INFLAMMATION AND RESOLUTION PHARMACOLOGY in human diseases (chonic and acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, septic shock and COVID-19) and in animal models (animal model of arterial hypertension; animal model of neuropathic pain). These projects were funded by FEDER/POCI and FCT in competitive calls and received awards/prizes by the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) (2013), Grünenthal Foundation (2018), European Society for Clinical Investigation (2020), YES Meeting (2019, 2023) and Ambiotis (9th European Workshop on Lipid Mediators, 2024). Recently, she was an invited Editor of the Research Topic: “Specialized proresolving mediators: benefits within and beyond inflammation resolution in cardiometabolic, neurological and psychiatric disorders”, published in Frontiers of Physiology, 2023, and was also invited to participate in a COST Action related to Resolution Biology & Pharmacology.
