Pérez-Cabezas, Begoña is the program officer of the One Health initiative at ICBAS since March 2021, and the responsible for Science communication at the ICBAS Communication office. Her research background and previous experience in science outreach facilitate the management and communication of the One Health approach inside and outside the institution. She was graduated in Biology in 2007 and got a PhD in Immunology in 2011, both at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ES). From 2012, she focused on the study of the modulation of the host immune system by pathogens, especially protozoan parasites, with a special focus on Leishmania infantum, the etiological agent of canine leishmaniosis (CanL) in Europe. Her work included basic and translational studies (pre-clinical trials for drug and vaccine testing), and was developed in different Portuguese research institutions, including ICBAS and i3S. She has more than 20 publications in peer-reviewed scientific articles. Regarding science outreach, she collaborated with Maratona da Saúde (2017) for fundraising of Portuguese science, co-organized the “Story behind the CV” event at i3S (2018) and was a member of the i3S fundraising team (2017-2019). In 2020, she concluded a Master in Innovation and Technological Entrepreneurship from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP).
