She was born in 1983, and since 2007 holds a 6-year PharmD degree granted by FFUP with a final classification of 16/20 (Grade A). In 2009, after finishing the Specialization Course in Forensic Sciences of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto (FMUP), Portugal, she was awarded with an FCT fellowship to carry out her doctoral studies at The Laboratory of Toxicology of FFUP and at The Centre for Toxicology of the UCL London (UK). During her PhD, DDS focused on the study of toxicodynamic and toxicokinetic interactions of amphetamines. In 2013, she obtained her PhD in Forensic Sciences by FMUP, with honour and distinction, and in the same year awarded the European PhD by Rector Dispatch. She successfully completed 4 Postdoctoral projects in Clinical, Analytical and Forensic Toxicology. DDS develops scientific and academic activity in the areas of Toxicology and Pharmacology of Psychoactive Substances, Pharmaceuticals, Environmental Carcinogens and Nanoparticles (preclinical, clinical and forensic aspects). She has experience in the teaching >50 Curricular Units of several graduation, MSc and PhD courses. DDS is/was a scientific supervisor of PhD students (11 ongoing), MSc students (21 completed; 1 ongoing), Integrated Master students (9 completed), Bachelor students (6 completed), and Mobility students (13 completed); and was a juror in 53 academic MSc and PhD examinations. She was member of several national and international Committees for Evaluation of Research Projects submitted for funding (including the Czech Science Foundation and UKRI-UK Research and Innovation) and a consultant for 3 pharmaceutical companies. She is member of the Direction of the Portuguese Association of Forensic Sciences (APCF). She was manuscript referee for >30 indexed scientific journals (ISI), edited the Special Issues "Insights into the Pharmacology, Toxicology and Clinical Applications of Hallucinogens" [JCM; IF 3.303] and "Psychoactive Substances in Neuronal Development" [Int J Mol Sci; IF 4.183], since 2020, is Editorial Board Member of Current Forensic Science (Bentham Science Publishers) and Psychoactives (MDPI), among others. DDS integrated the teams of 2 EU-commissioned Open Access Educational Projects, i.e., TOX-OER (www.toxoer.com) and Erasmus+OEMONOM; and of several funded projects - DDS worked as a team member or PI in 25 funded projects (9 international) and has been in strike collaboration with several national and international research groups. DDS presented her research in >50 (inter)national conferences (Portugal, USA, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, among others) with >70 oral communications and >110 posters. DDS co-authors 50 abstracts and 63 articles (being corresponding/first/last author of 95%, representing more than 6,972 citations according to Scopus; h-index of 24) published in prestigious ISI-indexed international journals, in top journals (mostly Q1) in the field.
