Joana Araújo research interests include the study of obesity from a life course perspective and the associations with cardiovascular risk factors. She has investigated how changes in adiposity and cumulative exposure to adiposity/obesity throughout adolescence impact cardiovascular risk factors in young adulthood. Joana has a background in nutrition and her post-graduate training and research experience have provided her with an excellent background in public health, epidemiology and data analysis. She completed her PhD in Public Health in September 2016, from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Portugal. In 2017, she earned a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, NC, in the US. From October 2017 to May 2019, her postdoctoral research focused on unintentional weight change, obesity and metabolic health, including the metabolically healthy and unhealthy phenotypes in obese and normal weight subjects. She returned to Portugal and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Epidemiology Research Unit (UID/DTP/04750/2013/002) between June 2019 and May 2020, and in June 2020 she started a contract as a Researcher from the 2nd edition of the Individual Call to Scientific Employment Stimulus (CEEC) from FCT (CEECIND/01271/2018). Joana has been highly involved in teaching and mentoring. She lectured several classes in epidemiology, nutrition and obesity. Her experience in the supervision of students includes 4 PhD students (ongoing, 2 co-supervisions) and 4 master students (3 concluded, 1 ongoing), bachelor's degrees, and professional internships. Joana is an integrated member of the Epidemiology Research Unit and the Associate Laboratory for Integrative and Translational Research in Population Health (ITR), and a member of national and international scientific associations in the field of obesity and epidemiology. Joana has published 46 papers in peer-reviewed journals (first-authored 14 of those) and two book chapters. Joana has participated in several national and international scientific meetings, with more than 60 oral and poster communications. Her research has been awarded in scientific conferences (several awards for best oral communications/posters), and in 2017 she received the Award in Public Health and Clinical Epidemiology, 7th Edition, from the Society of Medical Sciences of Lisbon and Merck Sharp & Dohme, Lda. Joana was recently awarded her first project as principal investigator in a Portuguese national competitive funding call to study Access and Management of Obesity in primary healthcare in Portugal.
