She is associate professor with Habilitation at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Group Leader at the Centre for Innovative Biomedicine and Biotechnology, and Principal Investigator of the Innate Immunity in inflammation-related diseases research line within the CNC Cell Signaling and Metabolism in Disease group. She holds the European Registered Toxicologist title, awarded by EUROTOX (Federation of European Toxicologists and European Societies of Toxicology) since 2018 and European Certified Pharmacologist title, awarded by EPHAR (Federation of European Pharmacological Societies) since 2024. MT Cruz has actively participated in numerous national and international funded projects (50 projects), with 22 of them under her responsibility, including those funded by the European Union 7th Framework Programme, John Hopkins, Cosmetics Europe, Lierac, Society of Toxicology /Colgate Palmolive and Vichy. She has contributed to 7 international patents and filed 7 provisional patent requests, authored 6 book chapters, and published 209 articles in SCI indexed journals. Included in the "World's Top 2% Scientists" concerning the most cited researchers in 2022 and 2023, MT Cruz boasts an h-index of 40 with 8708 citations, as per the Web of Science. She has supervised or co-supervised 21 doctoral (9 completed dissertations), 33 master (25 completed dissertations), and 3 post-doctoral students. MT Cruz regularly reviews R&D projects for various institutions, including ERA4Health, Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, French National Research Agency, Alzheimer's Association Research Fellowship Program, External Expert for COST proposals evaluation, among others. In terms of knowledge transfer and valorization, MT Cruz has played a pivotal role in creating a spin-off from the UC, Toxfinder, which has received several entrepreneurship awards and has been actively involved in patents and providing specialized services to national and international entities. Furthermore, MT Cruz contributed to the design and establishment of a Pilot Production Unit for Cell Therapy, the UpCells laboratory, resulting from a partnership between UC and the pharmaceutical industry Tecnimede, meeting all the requirements for the preparation and handling of cellular products for clinical application according to GMP. Given her expertise in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, MT Cruz was invited by the UC Rectorate to participate in the "Together for the Future of the UC" event, a crucial component of UC's Strategic Planning 2023-2027. She was invited to join the Acelera@UC mentoring team, organized by UC Business - Technology Transfer Office, aimed at guiding entrepreneurs in creating commercially viable, successful, and sustainable businesses. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, MT Cruz played a pivotal role as part of the coordination team at the University of Coimbra, overseeing diagnostic testing for Covid-19. She adapted laboratory facilities, conducted diagnostic tests, and trained nine teams of volunteers, totaling approximately 80 individuals. In terms of pedagogical activity, MT Cruz teaches various curricular units at the Faculty of Pharmacy, covering subjects such as Pharmacology, Histology and Human Embryology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Pathophysiology, Anatomy and Human Physiology, Pre-Clinical Drug Development, and Pharmacological Screening. She has also contributed to several master's and doctoral programs at the University of Coimbra and other institutions.
