Joana Vieira Silva holds a BSc in Biomedical Sciences and a MSc in Molecular Biomedicine obtained at University of Aveiro. She completed her PhD in Biomedicine in 2016 by University of Aveiro and NOVA University of Lisbon performed in collaboration with the University of Wolverhampton and University Medical-Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. In September 2017, she was awarded an FCT postdoctoral grant at i3S in collaboration with UMIB and iBiMED and focused her research on the molecular mechanisms of sperm aging. In total she is author in 27 papers in international peer review journals, 5 book chapters, 1 patent, and editor of 2 books. Since she finished her PhD she supervised 1 BSc, 5 MSc students and 1 PhD student. She was principal investigator of a MEDISIS Ideas project (co-financed by PORTUGAL 2020, through CENTRO 2020) and 3 European Proteomics Infrastructure Consortium (EPIC-XS)-funded projects and has participated as team member in 6 other funded projects. She is oriented towards translation of scientific knowledge to the healthcare industry, having started a successful company that provides diagnostic screenings (Androria - Centro de Estudos de Andrologia de Aveiro, Lda).
