Barbara Maria Nascimento de Oliveira, Veterinarian graduated from the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Salvador da Bahia, Brazil (2014). She holds a Master of Science with an emphasis on Biotechnology in Health and Investigative Medicine from the Research Center Gonçalo Moniz (CPqGM), Foundation Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), Salvador da Bahia, Brazil (2016). She developed activities at the Department of Anatomy da Escola de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brasil, under the programme titled "Curricular activity in community (ACC): Anatomy, comparative vision focused on schools in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil." Additionally, she participated in activities at the Laboratory of Pathology and Biointervention (LPBI), FIOCRUZ-BA, Brazil, working on a project aimed at developing a vaccine or immunotherapeutic against Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis (LVC). In 2017, she obtained the recognition/equivalence/Master's degree in Veterinary Medicine from the Portuguese Institution, the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar da Universidade do Porto, Portugal. (ICBAS-UP). She is a bearer of professional certificate No. 7338 issued by the Northern Regional Section of the Order of Veterinarians of Portugal (OMV). Between 2016 and 2019, she served as a Research Fellow at the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar da Universidade do Porto (ICBAS | UP), Portugal, working on the project "Study of the immune function of adipose tissue in Neospora caninum infected hosts," which was funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT). She has been developing her PhD from 2020 to the present in the Doctoral Program in Veterinary Sciences at the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar da Universidade do Porto (ICBAS | UP), funded by FCT, Portugal. Her thesis is focused on exploring the role of bovine adipose tissue in the host immune response to infection funded by FCT, Portugal. Currently, she is a Guest Assistant Professor at the Department of Anatomy of ICBAS-UP. She has experience in collecting biological samples from cattle on farms and/or slaughterhouses. In this thematic area, she has already published three articles as the first author. Overall, she has experience in the fields of Immunology, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Anatomy of domestic animals, Clinical Pathology, and Public Health.
