Daniela G. Costa (DGC) got her degree in Bioanalytical Sciences in 2016 at the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Coimbra. In 2018, she received her master's degree from the same institution. In her master’s degree, Daniela developed an entrepreneurship project in nutrition and food sustainability- Toal Ecobebidas. The project obtained innovative and unexpected results, granting Daniela multiple awards from national and international entities such as Agência Nacional de Inovação (ANI), Santander Totta, and Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN), Interreg Europe, Innovation Network Spain-Portugal (INESPO), University of Coimbra and Ecotrophelia AWARDS. Resulting from this work, in 2018, Daniela received a research fellowship - INOV C 2020-CENTRO-46-2016-01, Project nº5625- to study and implement an innovative production line, with the aim of producing fermented products based on whey concentrates with beneficial functionalities for human health. In 2019, Daniela received a research fellowship to work at Neuroendocrinology and Aging Group (N&A), Centre for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC), University of Coimbra, in a funded project under Cláudia Cavadas supervision (N&A group leader). In this project, Daniela was responsible for establishing new techniques to evaluate rodents’ food behavior and appetite regulators. In the same research group, in 2022, DGC won a research grant for the project entitled HealthyAging2020. In this project, she analyzed the impact of neuroendocrine modulations on cellular processes related to ageing and metabolic dysfunction: senescence, inflammation, metabolism, and circadian rhythm. Daniela G. Costa's current research interests focus on metabolism and aging, investigating metabolic alteration by diet and aging, circadian dysfunction, and alteration in neurogenesis and cellular senescence. DGC is first author of a review article in Nutrition Reviews (IF=7.110) and co-author of a manuscript (under review). Also, DGC is author of 6 oral communication, 2 of them presented in a meeting of high scientific relevance - Portuguese Pharmacological Society; 1 poster presentation at an international conference (EFFOST, 2020), and was selected to make an oral presentation at the Summer School organized by European Commission, which resulted in the publication of the abstract; 4 poster presentations and she was involved in the laboratory supervision of two students (1 MSc and 1 high school student). DGC participated in teaching theoretical and practical classes of the subject "Preclinical development of medicines" of the Degree in Biomedical Pharmacy and also taught a seminar in the Master of Food Safety, both in the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Coimbra. Furthermore, DGC has participated in several science communication initiatives (8 by invitation), scientific congresses/meetings and courses. DGC attended the doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences at the Faculty of Pharmacy, the University of Coimbra in the academic year 2020/2021 and successfully completed all the curricular units.
