Cláudia Moreno holds a degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Algarve, a master’s degree in Tropical Health from the Instituto de Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (IHMT-NOVA), and a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, awarded in 2020. Her research primarily focuses on the interactions between parasites and their hosts, with a particular emphasis on developing effective control strategies such as drug discovery and vaccine evaluation. She integrates aspects of immunology, proteomics, and genomics in her work. Additionally, she has collaborated on national and international consortium projects related to Trypanosomatids. Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher assigned to the project "Immune Precision Medicine as a New Opportunity to Control Canine Trypanosomatid Diseases – DogIPM" (PTDC/CVT-CVT/0228/2020) at Global Health and Tropical Medicine Center (GHTM- IHMT NOVA) in Lisbon, Portugal. This innovative project focuses on developing strategies to control trypanosomatids.
