Alexandra Correia (AC) graduated in Animal Science Engineering (UTAD, 1998) and holds an MSc in Agrarian Sciences ¿ Animal Production (UTAD, 2003). She defended her PhD thesis in Sciences, speciality Biology, at University of Minho in December 2012, addressing Candida albicans virulence factors as vaccination targets against systemic candidiasis. She worked as Postdoctoral Research Scientist at IBMC from 2013-2018 in the immune response to the parasite Neospora caninum and from 2019-2021 she became an Assistant Researcher at i3S and was granted her first Project as PI, in mucosal vaccination against bovine neosporosis. Ac is since September 2021 Assistant Professor of Immunology at ICBAS-UP and was awarded a second Project as PI in vaccination against abortion and vertical transmission of neosporosis in cattle. AC authored/co-authored 63 scientific articles in international peer-review journals and 2 book chapters. She supervised/co-supervised more than 30 MsC or undergraduate students and 2 Post-Docs. Presently supervises/co-supervises 5 PhD students, all in the Immunology field. Her collaborative work with national and international partners is evident in joint publications. AC has profited from her academic background on Animal Science to establish a new research line more focused on the translation of basic research, mostly done in the murine models, into hosts of veterinary interest.
