I have a degree in Biochemistry (2011) and an MSc in Structural and Functional Biochemistry (2013) from the NOVA University of Lisbon. In 2014, I was awarded an FCT fellowship and selected for the competitive Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics Doctoral Programme at the Faculty of Pharmacy University of Lisbon, where I made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of membrane channels. My work helped unravel novel physiological roles of AQPs, identify post-translational regulatory mechanisms, and screen inhibitors with potential for drug development against aquaporin-related pathologies. Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (iMM-JLA). I have a broad background in biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, and biophysics. I have specialized training in virology techniques, flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, animal experimentation, and expertise working under different biosafety level conditions (BSL1, 2, and 3). I published 12 articles in peer-reviewed journals, which received 535 citations (Google Scholar: h-index 11). I participated in several national and international conferences contributing with 5 oral and >10 poster presentations. My work has been recognized through several awards, both at the national and international levels: of note are a Short-Term Scientific Mission grant supported by the COST Action, a mobility grant within the Erasmus+ Programme, and two travel awards granted to attend and present her work at the FEBS3+ 1st Joint Meeting of the French-Portuguese-Spanish Biochemical and Molecular Biology Societies at Barcelona (Spain), and the 19th IUPAB Congress / 11th EBSA Congress at Edinburgh (Scotland).
