| 2023/04/17 - 2023/04/21 | It involved an introduction to proteomics. Several proteomic approaches were taught, such as mass spectrometry and SWATH-mass
spectrometry. Furthermore, the steps involved in sample collection and sample prep analysis were shown using practical research
work in various research disciplines. These proteomic approaches were expounded, in the discovery and studies of biomarkers
involved in neurodegenerative, plant, and infectious diseases, as well as statistical analytic tools to collate and interpret
results.

| 2022/06/02 - 2022/06/02 | In this webinar we learned and discussed effective leadership styles and health systems that can be adopted in the fight against
malaria. Availability of real time data, the involvement of multi-sector leaders are essential approaches that will help
facilitate malaria control and elimination in endemic regions around the world.

COMMUNICATION IN SCIENCE, GLOBAL MINISYMPOSIUM
IMFAHE Foundation and the Doctoral School of the Universidad de Valladolid , United States
|
| 2021/06/07 - 2021/06/09 | This multidisciplinary meeting provided a place for malaria scientists and clinicians passionate on understanding the clinical
and biological consequences of genome variation in malaria-exposed populations. The conference entailed various aspects of
parasite and mosquito genetics together to understand how new biological insights can be used to control malaria. State of
the art understanding of transmission models and migration patterns, genomic surveillance and the implications for policies
to eradicate malaria were discussed (Conference Summary).

Genomic Epidemiology of Malaria 2021 - Virtual Conference.
Wellcome Connecting Science, United Kingdom
|
| 2021/05/14 - 2021/06/09 | Innovate was a competition I participated in 2021. It entailed submission of abstracts of an idea or a project in the life
sciences. I submitted an abstract of an ongoing project am undertaking in the field of Malaria diagnosis. In there I stated
the issues pertaining to malaria diagnosis and proffered an effective spectroscopic tool - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance based
technology, to detect and quantify infected blood in endemic countries, considering the unique paramagnetic properties of
the hemozoin crystals found in the parasite.

| 2024/02/06 - 2024/02/23 | Bioninformatics in Health Sciences. The Bioinformatics course was an intensive studies of several data analytic tools including Linux, R and Python. I also learned how to apply these analytic tools to the analysis of gene expression studies and other bioinformatic areas, such as Uniprot, NCBI among others. I also used the Plasmapper webserver as a case study for the study and construction of a plasmid that will be used for creating genetically mutant parasites. | (Mestrado) | Universidade do Minho Instituto de Investigação em Ciências da Vida e Saúde, Portugal |
| 2022/12 - 2022/12 | I assisted in taking a practical class in a Master course at Life and Health Research Institute (ICVS). In the class I taught the procedures involved in the preparation of drug susceptibility assays using the SYBR Green I method. Additionally, I taught the principles of the fluorimeter in quantifying the drug assay 96 well plates after 72 hours of incubation, lysis and staining with SYBR Green. | Epidemiology (Mestrado) | Universidade do Minho Escola de Medicina, Portugal |
