Paula Cristina Gomes Ferreira Proença (citation name, Ferreira PG) obtained a degree in Veterinary Medicine in 1995 by the University of Lisbon and since then is teaching anatomy to veterinary medicine students and to medicine students at the Abel Salazar Institute for Biomedical Sciences - University of Porto (ICBAS-UPorto). She also taught human anatomy to nursing students (2015-2019). Doctorate in Veterinary Sciences in 2005 (University of Porto), her PhD program was devoted to study the mechanisms that confer resistance or susceptibility to Rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD), a viral hemorrhagic fever similar to Ebola virus infection, caused by a calicivirus infection that is often fatal for the host. Since her PhD, Ferreira PG was responsible (principal investigator) for two competitive projects funded by the FCT that added new information on the mechanisms of resistance and susceptibility to RHD, that remains the main focus of her research. Additionally, her knowledge and skills in the areas of anatomy and experimental infection have allowed her to participate in other projects as researcher. As a result of her research work, Ferreira PG has 28 articles published in international journals, highlighting one in Nature (2019), and more than fifty communications in national and international conferences (poster and oral communications). She supervised 4 PhD thesis (1 supervision and 3 co-supervision) and several MSc dissertations. In October 2016, Ferreira PG completed the “Title of Aggregate” in Veterinary Sciences by University of Porto and is nowadays Associate Professor with aggregation of ICBAS-UPorto. In addition to her research and teaching activities, she has always actively participated in university management. Highlights having been member of the Pedagogical Council of ICBAS between 1998-2009, Director of the Integrated master degree in Veterinary Medicine between 2009-2023 and Vice-Chairman of the Representatives Council of ICBAS between 2018-2022. Nowadays, she is Vice-Director of the Integrated master degree in Veterinary Medicine and Vice-Director of the Anatomy department of ICBAS. She is also member of the Pedagogical Council and of the Scientific Council of ICBAS (belongs to the latter since 2010).
